Scoring machine KATANA II

Overview
The KATANA II Robotic Scoring System combines precise, repeatable scoring with multi‑tool flexibility and a compact footprint for efficient bakery-line integration. Equipped with an integrated 3D vision system and three end-of-arm tools (multi-nozzle waterjet, plunge ultrasonic blade, drag ultrasonic blade), it adapts to varied dough geometries and scoring patterns for consistent results.

Highlights

• Proprietary software with an intuitive interface and built-in "Baker Assistant" to simplify recipe creation and daily operation.
• Three interchangeable end-of-arm tools—waterjet, plunge ultrasonic blade and drag ultrasonic blade—to match dough type and design complexity.
• Redesigned all-in-one cell providing full accessibility for faster operation, cleaning and maintenance.

Key features

• Integrated 3D vision with Dynamic Depth and Shape Control for automatic adaptation to product shape and size.
• Automated tool-change system enabling seamless transitions between tools in under 60 seconds to support continuous production.
• High cutting rates depending on tool: waterjet (5 nozzles) up to 600 cuts/min; plunge up to 200 cuts/min; drag up to 120 cuts/min.
