The Adept Quattro enables companies to maximize the throughput of their production lines. Powerful compact controls and embedded amplifiers simplify installation and reduce the factory area required for the work cell. The speed and precision of the Quattro robot combined with its acceptance by the USDA for meat and poultry processing make it the perfect choice for raw food handling, flexible packaging, material handling, kitting, and assembly applications where performance is key to decision-making.

ProPak 2012 is China's premier processing and packaging technology trade show celebrating its 18th year. The show takes place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from July 18-20, 2012 and will be co-located with China BevTek 2012 and China DairyTek 2012. According to the show organizer, China International Exhibitions Ltd., a common theme for exhibitors at this year's show is for smaller and faster packaging technology that is greener and more environmentally friendly for manufacturers of all products in China. With the rising cost of labor and increasing concern from Chinese consumers for product safety and quality, demand has grown significantly for the latest packaging technology from Chinese producers of everything from food and beverages and pharmaceuticals, to consumer packaged goods and industrial products.
