Packaging smarties and watches

It's the story of a long dynasty of industrial robots. Delta's three arms began by packaging chocolates, before being used in watchmaking, tele-surgery and the processing of materials. More than 200 operations per minute! It's not a firearm, but rather an outstanding packaging tool. The Delta robot made light work of hundreds of packets of Smarties at the Triennial Interpack Exhibition in Düsseldorf. The inventor of the concept, Reymond Clavel, was presenting in Germany the most recent version of the Delta robot, resulting of a collaboration with Bosch. The performance of "Delta Direct Drive" is impressive - the robot can achieve acceleration of over 15 g, and this represents an increase in performance of 50% compared to robots of the previous generation. Increasing speed and maintaining precision The challenge in developing this new variant was daunting - it involved increasing the speed of the Delta robot, while maintaining its precision.
