Pick and place packaging robotic cell BluePrint Automation
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.
