Cover on a Food Service Robot

Food service robots are being introduced into the restaurant industry to reduce the workload of employees.
As with a number of areas in the food industry, infection prevention measures are also being integrated into food service robots.
An increasing amount of customers are showing more concern about food hygiene—especially food that is exposed to open environments such as in food displays and buffets. In turn, the appeal of covered food servers is also on the rise.

Concern with contamination of exposed food

Adding value through lid movement

The Swing Lift Down (SLD) stay was incorporated into the lid of a food delivery robot.
The SLD was selected based on its special movement functionality.
Conventional door opening requires space in front of the door when opening or closing. This space requirement makes it difficult to use in shops where space is limited.
With the SLD, the lid opens downwards vertically, so food can be taken out easily without taking up too much space.
The lift assist and soft motion function also give the SLD a modern and sophisticated feel.
