I mentioned in the last post that the Japanese don't mind having multiple handling steps in a material automation process. Perhaps, to make up for that, or because of the fixation the Japanese have for anthropomorphic robots - they suggest that a robot can perform those 'manual' handling steps (right click on the movie below and select 'Play' to see the Motoman in action)...
You have to love it - but those of us who have participated in machine design and material automation systems are thinking of other ways to accomplish sortation...
