Get it Done with Robotic Collation and Loading
A fully automated cartoner for pouches, featuring robotic collation and loading, was engineered by FANUC’s Authorized System Integrator.
System Operation
Pouches emerge from the customer's pouch form-fill-seal (FFS) machine in a single-file fashion. The M-1iA robot strategically arranges alternate pouches, forming dual lanes at the cartoner infeed. Subsequently, two M-2iA robots precisely stage the pouches within collation fixtures, while an SR-6iA erects auto-bottom cartons and positions them on the carton conveyor. An M-10iD/12 robot expertly picks the staged pouches and deposits them into the erected cartons. The carton's top is then folded and tucked, and a collaborative CRX-10iA robot efficiently removes closed cartons, transferring them onto racks.
