Ultrasonic Cutting with Baking Tray Handling Robot
Fully Automated Cake Cutting Workstation with Baking Pan Docking and Ultrasonic Robotic Arm
This fully automated cake cutting workstation with baking pan docking and ultrasonic robotic arm is an intelligent precision processing device adapted to modern baking production lines. It integrates three core systems: automatic baking pan docking and conveying, intelligent control by a six-axis robotic arm, and ultrasonic precision cutting. It completely revolutionizes the traditional manual and semi-automatic mechanical cake cutting production mode. It is widely used for standardized cutting of various soft baked goods such as cream cakes, mousse cakes, and cheesecakes, and is a core supporting equipment for intelligent and refined production in the baking industry.
This workstation achieves seamless connection between the baking pan and the cutting process. It is compatible with the industry-standard 60×40 baking pan and equipped with a precise conveying and positioning mechanism, enabling fully automated operation of the entire process, including automatic pan loading, alignment, locking, and unloading. The equipment features an intelligent sensing module that accurately identifies the pan position, product placement, and cake specifications, automatically calibrating workstation deviations without requiring manual alignment adjustments. This effectively solves problems such as baking pan positioning misalignment, process connection bottlenecks, and large errors in manual loading in traditional production, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the entire production line.
The workstation’s core utilizes a six-axis fully automated robotic arm, possessing flexible, multi-dimensional motion capabilities. It can customize cutting trajectories, segment sizes, and cutting angles to meet the diverse cutting needs of square, round, and irregularly shaped cakes, adapting to varied production orders. Compared to traditional fixed-die cutting equipment, the robotic arm’s flexible operation offers significant advantages. It allows for switching product specifications without changing molds, greatly reducing changeover time and adapting to both standardized mass production and small-batch customized production needs. Its millimeter-level motion precision eliminates cutting size deviations at the source.
The cutting process incorporates 20-40kHz high-frequency ultrasonic cutting technology. An ultrasonic generator converts electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical energy, which is then transmitted to the cutting blade via a transducer and amplitude transformer, enabling the blade to vibrate at high speed and micro-amplitude. The cutting process eliminates the need for mechanical pressure to compress ingredients; high-frequency vibration instantly separates the product, easily penetrating cream, fillings, and sponge cake layers. The cut is smooth and even, without crumbling, collapse, or cream adhesion and deformation, perfectly preserving the cake’s layered structure and appearance. Meanwhile, high-frequency vibration endows the blades with self-cleaning properties, making them less prone to residues of sugar and cream impurities, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and meeting HACCP and GMP food production hygiene standards.
The entire workstation achieves a fully automated closed-loop operation from baking tray feeding, product positioning, intelligent cutting, to finished product unloading, greatly reducing manual intervention and effectively lowering labor costs and human error. The equipment operates stably, with low wear and tear and a high finished product qualification rate. It not only significantly improves the processing precision and production efficiency of baked goods and reduces raw material waste, but also helps baking companies achieve standardized and intelligent upgrades to their production processes, adapting to the efficient, clean, and refined production development needs of modern food factories.
About Cheersonic
Cheersonic manufactures the leading portioning equipment for bakeries producing fresh and frozen desserts. Since 1998 bakers have used Cheersonic machines to cut, slice and portion cheesecake, pie, layer cake, loaves, butter, cheese, pizza, sandwichs, and more. Cheersonic offers ultrasonic cutting solutions that support start-up bakeries and high production commercial facilities alike. Small standalone machines can be used in manual baking facilities and large inline robotic solutions aid in high speed production.
Cheersonic offers many ultrasonic slicing models, both inline and offline applications, with production speeds of 80 to 1,500 cakes or pies per hour.
Cheersonic’ latest offline introductions include ultrasonic cutting with or without divider inserts between each slice. This improves the quality of the cut and makes for a much better product presentation for the customer. In addition, robotic arm improves the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of the cutting process, producing professional looking products every time.
