We have the solutions others are still thinking about
Everybody talks about automation, but it's much more than just a trendy word. We ourselves have developed from a machine manufacturer to a process provider because we believe that the decisive criterion for automated efficiency is the integration of the entire environment and periphery. Thus, what began with economical pallet changing and intelligent handling systems now culminates in highly advanced robot solutions. We have long been able to convert a machine into a flexible manufacturing cell.
Based on our products, we offer automation solutions, handling systems, pallet changers, turnkey solutions, individual option packets and innovative control units.

What does it do?
- Our Swing Machine has the ability to pack bags AND cartons in stand-up AND lay-down configurations on the SAME machine!
How does it work?
- horizontal configuration (applies to standard swing machine only):
Product is collated into a group using one of our custom collation methods. The product is then picked by a specially designed end-effector. The fully servo-driven robot ensures smooth placement into the secondary container.
- vertical configuration:Begins with collation and the picking of the product just as the lay-down configuration. Instead of loading directly into the secondary container, the product is placed flat into an intermediary cassette. Cases are tipped towards the cassette and the entire stack is side-loaded into the secondary container.
How productive is it?
- The top loader can pack up to 300 bags per minute when using our Smart-Trak™ collation and up to 400 bags per minute when using our Smart-Bin™ collation system. Even higher speeds can be reached with rigid containers.
How is the changeover?
- End-effectors can be changed out within 30 seconds using a simple clamping mechanism. Most settings can be created from the operator panel and saved as unique product codes. The robotic motion is also easily changed and saved as unique product codes.

Is one of the most versatile proposals, thanks to the use of an anthropomorphic robot with six axis of movement, implemented in a polishing island with "intellingent" units and a suitable warehouse it is possible to obtain high qualities and precision.
The working is executed on brushes or abrasive belts by a robot that faithfully replaces the man, taking the pieces to be worked from the appropriate loader and carrying out the working cycle on the polishing stations.
the polishing groups are realisable according to many parameters and characteristics, but also the model and the amount of installed robots changes depending on the working requirements.
Who chooses a system of this type wants to obtain a finish on productions not too much high or must work pieces of particularly complex shape. In contrary case he is well to take in consideration the alternative rotary table.
