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.
