Application
Simple and cost-effective robot integration for a case-packing line.
Challenge
Adding robotics to an automated case-packing line without the complexity of PLC integration, or space required for safety fencing.
Solution
1) Conveyor delivers SKUs to packing station
2) Products enter singulator with light sensor
3) Robot picks row of products and packs into case.
Benefits
Greatly reduces complexity and cost to integrate robots into packaging lines. Smart series robot accommodates operator involvement with simple-to-operate Smart Pendant and collaborative safety features. The machine is able to run continual cycles unattended. Stop-State Monitoring and Speed & Separation Monitoring enable workers to enter the station with minimal interruption of the cycle.
