Overview
MULTIVAC Robotics supplies modular pick-and-place and handling robots for packaging automation. The systems handle products, packs, boxes and containers and can be configured for product flow or pack flow according to product characteristics and hygiene requirements.

Technology and modularity
Servo drives and advanced gripper technologies provide precise, high-speed handling. A modular kit of robot types, mechanical and vacuum grippers, conveyor interfaces, sensors and vision systems enables customised configurations. Certain robot models can be integrated directly into thermoforming machine frames to minimise footprint. Installed systems are expandable with additional axes, sensors or vision modules as requirements grow.

Applications

• Automatic loading of products into thermoformed packs or trays
• Singulation and track merging of multi-lane formats
• Automated loading of product packs into boxes or containers
• Direct pack removal from the thermoformer complete cutter and subsequent separation/loading

Features / Benefits
