- How do your palletizers stack up?
To enhance efficiency and ergonomics, processors are turning to high-speed mechanical and flexible robotic systems to stack their boxes, bags or pails onto pallets and slipsheets. The robots are coming! The robots are coming! Automatic palletizers - robotized and otherwise - are used in all industries to unitize loads of ......
- Robotic case packer.
With an arm constructed of a carbon fiber composite, the KUKA KR 40 PA case packing robot is light and fast, helping to increase throughput. The four-axis robot is the third mechanism in KUKA's supply chain automation lineup to use carbon fiber material. The robot's base is made of ductile ......
- One Controller Handles Motion and Robotics
Robots and packaging machines already work together closely — except for their controllers. “OEMs have essentially had to deal with two completely different control systems in the past, one for the machine and another for the robotics,” says Mike Wagner, global business manager for packaging at Rockwell Automation ( http://rbi.ims.ca/5411-563 ......
- Robots rock!
Robotics continue to grow in packaging operations, according to the most recent Purchasing Plans Study from the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (see Market Forecast, p. 4). While robotics purchases overall actually decreased in 2006, due to the decline in the auto industry, usage increased in the consumer goods industries, such ......

- Noxzema/Olay reduces costs by using robotics: Cosmetic
jars and bundles of lids are automatically palletized and stretch
wrapped, saving time and labor. The ROI was realized within 18
months.
Stretch-wrapped pallet loads of Noxzema and Olay skin care jars and lids have just come off the palletizing line at Wheaton Pharmaceuticals. This end-of-line solution was designed and custom built for Wheaton by Schneider Packaging Equipment Co., Inc., Brewerton, NY. Empty jars and bundled trays of lids are automatically palletized, ......
