Wittmann Battenfeld Introduces Record‑Setting 100 kg Cartesian Robot for Belli’s Waste Bin Production

The biggest Cartesian robot built by Wittmann Battenfeld is now operating at Belli’s facility in Bellignat, France, where it shapes large waste bins. The W873XL, a custom‑adapted version of Wittmann’s standard W873, was selected for its 3‑metre demolding stroke and its ability to lift parts weighing up to 100 kg (220 lb).

“With a demolding stroke of 3 m, we no longer need to rely on partial mold openings,” explains Belli’s general manager Eric Chanal. “Replacing the six‑axis articulated robot that previously handled this task has also freed up valuable floor space for palletising.”

The robot’s specialised grippers reduce extraction time when handling large components, and operators praise the TeachBox console for its intuitive interface, which simplifies fault‑free programming.

“We’re thrilled with the performance of the W873XL,” says Chanal. “Given its success, we plan to order an even larger model in the future.”

Belli in France molds large waste bins with the customized Wittmann Battenfeld robot, the largest the firm has built.

The customized design of this robot was adapted by Wittmann Battenfeld from its standard W873 model. Belli is so happy with this unit that it plans to order an even bigger robot.
