Penta’s automation enables robots to assemble panels of blocks
A robot on the bauma stand of Italian company 7270 Penta Automazioni Industriali has been demonstrating the precision laying of paving blocks.

Penta’s custom-made handling technology enables a robot to read the size of each block, pick up individual pieces and position them to make up a panel. The panels can then be installed on site.

Penta also specialises in the ageing of blocks to achieve the desired appearance.

Stand: C1.305

The engine is said to deliver a 20% fuel efficiency benefit compared to the 988H, thanks in part to an ECO mode with on-demand throttle, auto idle and engine idle kickdown/auto resume system. The 50tonne machine moves away from its predecessor’s monoboom loader arm design in favour of a Z-bar linkage.
