Schneider Packaging Robotic Case Packer for Complex Packing Orientations
POSTED 10/15/2010
In the pick and place area, two robotic arms work together placing product, which is either upright, inverted and/or rotated, into a collating area. The robots alternate opposing tasks thereby eliminating any downtime between motions. If necessary, the robots hand off product from one to the other to form complex nesting patterns.
In the packing station, one robotic arm alternates between placing layer pads (if needed) and a completed row of interlocked trays into the case. The packing station robot can invert or angle nested trays to produce tight pack patterns.
“A conventional method for this type of case packing would require a very large piece of equipment with multiple complex mechanisms to orient the product,” says Terry Zarnowski, Director of Sales and Marketing, Schneider Packaging Equipment. “Companies with limited floor space and complex case packing requirements are recognizing that robotics is an important new complement to conventional end-of-line operations and we provide as many options as possible. Additionally, the flexibility of robots allows for rapid changeover between product types.”
