The Adept Quattro(TM) s650H is a parallel robot specifically designed for high-speed manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and assembly applications. It is the only robot in the world that features a four-arm rotational platform. The design delivers maximum speed, maximum acceleration, and exceptional performance across the entire work envelope. The Adept Quattro s650H further empowers companies to maximize the throughput of their production lines. Powerful compact controls and embedded amplifiers also make installation easy while reducing work cell and overall factory footprint requirements. The speed and precision of the Quattro robot combined with recently becoming USDA Accepted make it the perfect choice for a variety of applications such as raw food handling, flexible packaging, material handling, kitting, and assembly applications where performance is of paramount consideration.
ProPak China 2010 is the country's premier processing and packaging technology trade show in its 16th year. The show takes place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from July 14-16, 2010 and will be colocated with China BevTek 2010 and China DairyTek 2010. According to the show organizer, China International Exhibitions Ltd., China started 2010 with an astonishing 11.9% year-on-year growth in the economy for the first quarter of 2010. Consumer demand has replaced exports as the engine of growth, with Chinese consumers spending more than in the USA over the last 12 months. This new consumer-driven economy is fueling demand for foods, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household chemicals and other consumer products.
New trends for the adoption of automation and control technology to increase efficiency and save cost will be much in evidence at the show this year. Chinese manufacturers of processing and packaging equipment have been quick to recognize the benefits of incorporating international brands of automation and control technology to their machines. Rapid economic growth in China has also come with a rise in labor costs and increased demand for efficient technology. More information is available at www.propakchina.com.
