positioning pizza dough balls into store trays, placing
pastries and other sweet goods into merchandising containers, dipping cinnamon rolls into an icing glaze, and
scoring rolls.

Getting a good grip
New end-of-arm tools (EAOT), also known as endeffectors or grippers, have enabled bakeries to depan
and package a greater variety of bakery and snack products. Packaging robots can be broken into two categories: Primary systems pick and place raw product into
infeeds for flowwrappers or other packaging equipment
while secondary systems put packaged goods into cartons and shipping cases or palletize packed cases.
Automating the depanning and packing of muffins
and snack cakes into various configurations such as bulk
packs, two-piece plastic packs and clamshells represents
the latest robotics trend, according to Rick Hoskins,
director of sales and marketing, Colborne Foodbotics,
Lake Forest, IL.
“These systems are unique in that they handle many
packaging varieties as opposed to previous systems that

have typically been dedicated to a particular packaging
configuration or two,” he said. “The development of our
automated tool-change process has really made these
applications more feasible.”
To assist bakeries when picking and placing different
varieties, ABI Automation developed a quick-exchange
feature for its tooling designs for delta-style robots, Mr.
Hill noted. “We have made it very lightweight and easy
to change,” he explained.
Dunbar Systems, Lemont, IL, in conjunction with
Benda Manufacturing Inc. (BMI), Tinley Park, IL, integrated a robot that tracks the movement of the baking
pan in the oven and then pneumatically lifts the product
from pans. “Once picked, the product centers are adjusted to the plastic tray centers and are placed in a plastic
tray,” said Todd Frandsen, BMI’s operations manager.
“The robot depans 144 pieces of product per pick and
makes more than eight picks per minute.”
One of AMF’s most recent installations was also on
a secondary packaging application on a cake and muffin line, in which it integrated three 4-axis robots to
pick baked foods in dome and clamshell containers and
