The RML-MX is the solution for automatically loading the magazines of your packaging machinery. Each RML-MX is designed to your specific project requirements, but they all feature a multi-axis articulated arm robot, which provides the ultimate in flexibility and reliable operation. With fast, pre-programmed changeovers and customizable end-of-arm tooling, the RML-MX can be configured to load an assortment of different packaging machinery magazines, including case erector, tray former, carrier erector and cartoner magazines. Plus, as your needs change, the RML-MX can change with you.
For loading knocked-down cases into a Pearson case erector, pallets of knocked-down bundles of corrugated cases are transferred into the cell. Once in place, the multi-axis robot picks a bundle of knocked-down cases from the pallet and places the bundle in a secondary device that cuts and removes the banding. Once the banding is removed, the bundle is lowered into place on the magazine of the case erector.
For loading knocked-down carriers or cartons into a magazine, the multi-axis robot picks case of carriers or cartons from the pallet and places it on a secondary device designed by Pearson. The device inverts the case and positions the blanks onto the magazine of the carrier erector or cartoner. Once empty, the case is lifted from the magazine and removed for disposal. The carriers or cartons are then advanced into the machine.
Features:
- Highly reliable robotic arm design with MTBF of over 60.000 hours
- Fully-interlocked perimeter guard package
- Flexibility to accommodate layout requirements
- Fast, pre-programmed changeovers
- Customizable end-of-arm tooling

Flexpicker
Flexpicker is a high speed parallel arm picking and placing robot supplied by ABB. FlexLink integrates the robot into applications requiring that products be picked to be placed or packed according to a specific pattern. The FlexLink products include conveyors, supports and control system.
Using its vision tecnology, the system is accurate in that it only selects perfect objects. If, for example, a cookie, a piece of chocolate or a pill is defect the robot will ignore it.
Flexpicker readily handles 150 picks per minute, corresponding to a cycle time of 0.4 seconds.
The IRB 340 robot used is also available in a stainless steel version, making it ideal for for operations requiring extra clean environments. This robot is highly suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical, medical and electronics applications. The IRB 340 is certified for clean-room applications, clean-room class between 2 and 3 after DIN EN ISO 14644 part 1 + 2.
Pick and place units
Using standard elements, FlexLink can supply a wide range of pick & place units, for handling everything from small lightweight goods such as plastic bottles, up to heavier applications in the automotive industry. Loads up to 50 kg are possible.

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.

Using vacuum cups or mechanical grippers, a Bosch delta robot can be created to suit nearly any application. Two forms of pick and place robots are available from Bosch. One of which is a Top Loader, the other is a Feed Placer. In Top Load applications, the product is picked from an incoming flow and placed in a case, carton, or tray. Feed Placers pick product from an incoming flow and place it directly into your wrapper infeed, thermoformer infeed, bucket chain conveyor, or nearly any form of a flighted or pitched conveyor.
The Paloma-D2 pick-and-place robot aligns and places product into cartons, cases or trays. Its stainless steel construction meets many current hygiene standards and regulations for food handling. Fast production changeovers of less than 5 minutes are made possible with the new Gemini 3.0 software and tool-free changeable form sets.
Facts:
- Stainless steel construction is standard
- Meets many current hygiene standards and regulations for food processing
- Quickly clean with ingress protection rating of IP65 up to 1.5M high and splash proof area of IP54 above 1.5M

This flexible, high speed machine sorts, collates, orients, and places products in a precise manner. When the machine's vision system senses the orientation of randomly placed products moving rapidly down the eight foot conveyor, the robot picks up the product, properly orients it and deposits it into a bucket conveyor, cartoning operation or other downstream machine. The picking cell performs its functions in a smooth, organized fashion, and integrates seamlessly with other machines on the production line.
End user flexibility is a core feature of this machine. With minimal or no changeover, the picking cell can handle a wide array of products as well as create variety packs. The re-deployable cell can easily be re-tooled to serve a different line, product application or new production need.
Features and Benefits
- Speeds up to 180 picks per minute
- Flexible product handling, collating, and transfer capabilities
- Eliminates traditional hand loading of bulk product
- Stand alone system
- Quick, easy electronic change-over
- Re-configurable for future applications

Ehcolo supplies robotic systems, based on MOTOMAN robots. And based on our yearlong experience with our own manufactured gantry robots, we manufacure and supply pick-up units and the pheriferical equipment like conveyors etc.
Our goal at start of using robots in palletising was, that we should reach a performance quality as close as possible to our own palletisers, a level of quality, we have not been able to see elsewhere. So we designed and manufacured a pick-up unit, which compensated for the shortages, which the robot by nature has, e.g. automatic layer height measuring and top-pressing. So it is not posible to palletise any better with robot, than we do now, regardless if it is overlapping or side-by-side palletising.
|
|
The robotised cell of palletisation can handle up to 4 lines of production at high speeds.
According to the speed, the machine can put the products on the pallet per unit, per row or per layer.
The interleaves and the pallets are gripped and laid whether by the gripping unit or the peripheral equipment.
|
|
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.

The main advantages are numerous:
- The capacity to conform to the geometrical differences of pieces that are obtained with foundry or stamping processes and, therefore, that are not perfectly equal one to the other.
- The possibility of vary the working pressure according to the necessity to speed up the cycle time, making constant the final quality of the product, from the first to the last piece that is worked and optimizing the consumption of the tools.
- The possibility of working completely independent without the regular presence of an operator and therefore with a further reduction of the cost per hour of the system.
- Remarkable saving of the consumption material.
