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

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
- Available with 1, 2 or 3 arms, the Paloma D2 picks products at speeds up to 290 products per minute

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.

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.

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.

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.
