ABI premieres two new technologies: robotic water jet cutting and 3D ultrasonic scoring.
Most exciting about the robotic water jet cutting technology is the interface that ABI has built to facilitate communication between the operator and the robot. No more programming required -- now designs drawn onto the system's tablet are directly executed by the robot. This technology has a vast array of uses, not only in cutting, but in decorating and many other processes as well.
The 3D ultrasonic scoring system features vision technology that adjust to the individual positions and geometries of the product. Any small inconsistencies in the product placement or actual size are fully accounted for, ensuring perfectly uniform scoring every time.

Many of my customers have mentioned the difficulties of cutting their product into slices or smaller pieces. Serrated blades, cutting wire, reciprocal blades -- all of these options hurt their yield, take time to clean, and can only cut straight lines. So we developed a cutter that solves all of these issues by combining waterjet technology with robotics.
