Performance
- For requirements in terms of speed and smooth handling, the loading operation can be carried out by a “pick & pack” gripper: pneumatic, mechanic, robotic, 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, or Scara
- Speeds of up to 13.5 cases/min depending on the type of product and collation
- Products fed in by single layer simple transfer or by a mechanical or servo-driven elevating or lowering stacker.
- Simplified format changeovers.
- Product and case size ranges available on request.
- Size changeover times optimized thanks to centralized setting points via IVO digital counters
Options
- Product and batch control by vision system.
- Integration of the labeling operation and /or ink jet coder
- Bar code verification
- Remote diagnostics
- For requirements in terms of speed and smooth handling, the loading operation can be carried out by a "Pick & Pack" gripper: 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, or Scara.
Product packing
- Stocking of blanks in a flat magazine with chains advancing mechanically and guide to maintain stability.
- Positive case extraction and forming (patented system) by two rotating arms fitted with suction cups.
- Flap deflection and guiding of the batch of products into the case by rotating bridge and loading funnel.
- Motorized transfer of the batch into the case.
- Folding and holding of the inner flaps.
- Pre-folding of the long flaps whilst case is stationary, followed by progressive folding during transfer.
- Hot-melt version Nordson ProBlue Series
- Motorized transfer of the cases (held square) by mechanical shuttle with speed control for even application of glue strips.
- Pressure applied evenly to case sides to ensure gluing and squaring of the case prior to outfeed.
Adhesive tape version
- Motorized transfer of the cases (held square) by mechanical shuttle.
- Positive transfer of the case by motorized belts for sealing by applying adhesive tape.
