RARUK Automation PPMA Total Show Preview
23-25 September 2025 – Nec, Birmingham
Dedicated UK automation distributor RARUK Automation will be showcasing a range of solutions designed to optimise packaging efficiency at the PPMA Total Show, held on the 23rd – 25th September 2025 at the NEC in Birmingham. At the show, held every three years, RARUK Automation will be highlighting collaborative robot( cobot) palletising, mobile robots and AI vision.
Efficiency Boost for End-of-Line Operations
On stand D72, RARUK Automation will be demonstrating the PE Series Palletising Solution from Robotiq. The solution was designed specifically for the Universal Robots range of 6-axis cobot arms and there are a variety of options to suit different UR models. For this demonstration, the palletising solution will be paired with the newly upgraded UR12e. With a recently improved payload capacity of 12.5 kg / 27.5 lbs, this model has a reach of 1300 mm / 51.2 in whilst maintaining a compact footprint.
With many manufacturers struggling with labour shortages, robotic palletising enables workers to be re-allocated to higher value, safer tasks. This eliminates the risk of RSI associated with manual palletising. Robotiq’ s full range of palletising solutions are fast to set up, easy to scale and do not require annual software licencing fees.
Material Handling with Mobile Robots
Working in collaboration with the palletising cell on stand D72, the MiR600 from Mobile Industrial Robots will be transporting the pallet once loaded. This showcases how workflows can be completely automated in real-life applications and how different robotic solutions can work together. The MiR600 can move 600 kg payloads autonomously at a speed of 2m / s in demanding environments. The
