Exhibiting sensing technology using a 6-axis force sensor at "FOOD Expo 2024".
【First Reveal of New Product】Proposing solutions for labor-saving and space-saving with the 6-axis force sensor "ZYXerⓇ" at the "FOOD Expo 2024".
【Exhibited Products】 We will demonstrate solutions for the food industry that contribute to automation in manufacturing and the inheritance of skilled techniques using the force sensor "ZYXerⓇ". 6-axis force sensor ZYXerⓇ… This sensor detects force and moment (the force that tries to rotate an object), acquiring data on forces in the X, Y, and Z axis directions (3 axes) and moments on each axis (3 axes), totaling 6 axes of data. 【Exhibition Content】 "Dynamic Weight Measurement System by ZYXerⓇ" ▸ By attaching it to a robot, it enables high-precision weight measurement during gripping operations. "Force Sensor Utilization Demo for Food Processing" ▸ Utilizing robotic food processing operations, we will introduce force control for two types of ingredients with different hardness. "Skilled Technique Dataization Demo" ▸ We will dataize skilled tasks in the manufacturing process, contributing to the inheritance of techniques. 【Exhibitor Presentation Seminar!】 Date: October 10, 2024 (Thursday) 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM Location: Seminar Room 3 (Tokyo Big Sight, East Hall 5, back) Content: "Transforming Food Factories with Force Sensors: Automation and Inheritance of Skilled Techniques"

Applications/Examples of results
Examples of Solutions Using the 6-Axis Force Sensor "ZYXerⓇ" 【~Process Reduction~ Dynamic Weight Measurement System by ZYXerⓇ】 By measuring weight during transportation, the need for weight measurement processes and weight checkers is eliminated, achieving labor and space savings. We also provide equipment for metal detection after packaging and throughout the transportation process, automating everything from boxing to palletizing, thereby addressing issues such as labor shortages and shipping defects. 【~Quality Stabilization~ Automation in Food Processing】 By using force control in food processing with robots, we achieve improved yield and reduced defects. The system can accurately follow complex shapes such as bones and gills with high precision, flexibly adjusting thresholds to delicately process a variety of ingredients like meat, fish, and fruits. 【~Technology Succession~ Visualization of Skilled Techniques】 By measuring the force data of skilled workers and quantifying and visualizing their techniques, we can intuitively and quantitatively show the differences between beginners and experts. This allows for the education and succession of important skills to the next generation without losing them. It can also be utilized for transferring parameters to robots and automated machines.
