Packaging of small parts
The global shift to fully automated packaging processes continues to accelerate. The reduction of monotonous manual activities with a simultaneous increase in quantity and quality is capturing all conceivable industries as a mega-trend. Sustainability in packaging - cardboard instead of plastic - as a further mega-trend increases the pressure to innovate in this industry.
A decisive task or essential efficiency factor is to master the increasing product variety with decreasing batch sizes. The solution is to use a fully-modular, highly flexible 6-axis robotic cell.
We create the added value in your logistics chain. Efficiency in motion. FEED.
Specific components and process features:
- Packaging formats 30 x 12 x 80 mm to 120 x 120 x 180 mm (l x w x h)
- Component weights up to approx. 5 kg (depending on gripper weight)
- Packaging material box, tray or customer-specific work piece tray
- Suitable for all common box sealing types
- Buckle closure
- Hot glue
- Combination buckle closure / hot glue
- Automatic bottom box
- Labeling via dispenser or integration of individual label printing unit
This allows us to achieve:
Highest precision
- highest precision through 6-axis industrial robot
- integrated into a rigid steel frame construction
- safe product handling through sensitive gripper technology
Low space requirement
- compact construction with low space requirement – from approx. 4 sqm
Flexibility & efficiency
- high flexibility through modular design
- application of robots, thus short set-up and changeover times
- fast and cost-effective adaptation in case of product changes (e.g. exchanging a mechanical gripper for a vacuum gripper)
- very good accessibility to electronics, control system etc. through intelligent disposition and sandwich set-up
