Gantry Robots in the Food and Beverage Industry

Gantry Robots Play an Important Role in the Industrial Production of Food and Beverages.

Working in close proximity to ovens, cold storage rooms or cleaning systems quickly pushes the human condition to its limits. Just like monotonous checking or picking over longer time periods. This is an ideal area for using robots, which are already widely used in the industrial processing of food and beverages. Gantry robots and area gantry robots in particular offer a number of advantages.

Tasks of Production Robots

The special aspect of gantry robots is that they are positioned above the system components and take up very little additional floor space. This makes the gantry robots easily accessible for setup or maintenance activities. On large portals, several robots can also work simultaneously in the same room. They execute their work steps with extreme precision and can be flexibly adapted to tasks.

Special Challenges for Gantry Robots in the Food Industry

Linear Systems from Schaeffler


To ensure a successful automation solution, it is necessary to precisely analyze in advance what the robot should do and which components are needed for this purpose. To realize this requires extensive know-how and the corresponding product portfolio. Rigid linear systems are suitable for gantry robots, such as linear recirculating ball bearing and guideway assemblies of the KUVE and KUSE series and roller monorail guidance systems of our RUE series. These make it possible to perform very exact and fast movements even under high loads.

Load-appropriate sealing solutions protect the carriages from aggressive cleaning agents and ensure that the movements stay precise and low-friction.

More Automation in the Food and Beverage Industry

Robotic technology is widespread in the food and beverage industry. With the right planning know-how and appropriate automation solution, they make it possible to achieve significant increases in productivity. You can also learn how to ensure more efficiency in production thanks to digital solutions.
