Automatic pick & place case packer for cartons

Step 1: Cartons infeed

The cartons are fed into the machine by the infeed conveyor in a single row.

Step 2: Carton flow dividing

The carton flow is divided into several lanes according to the packaging pattern.

Step 3: Cartons accumulation

The cartons are transferred to the accumulation section where they are accumulated according to the packing pattern.

Step 4: Box forming

The box or case is formed at the box forming section. This section is provided with the box magazine where the boxes in flat are loaded manually. The process of forming the boxes is fully automatic. When the box is formed, it is transferred by side belts into the packing section of the machine.

Step 5: Preparing box for packing

The box in the packing section is held in place with its upper flaps opened to not interfere with the packing process.

Step 6: Cartons picking

When sensors detect the required quantity of product in the accumulation section, the rotary grippers pick the bottles and rotate them to the packing section.

Step 7: Packing the cartons into the box

The rotary gripper with the products goes down and places them into the opened box.

Step 8: Box closing and sealing

The box is then moved by side belts to the sealing section. Box upper flaps are gradually closed and both upper and bottom flaps are sealed with adhesive tape or hor melt glue.

Box former is integrated as a section of the case packing machine.

Manual loading of blank flat cardboard cases/boxes into the box magazine.

The box magazine can be extended to increase its capacity so that the system can operate for longer without refilling the boxes.

The next box is folded as soon as the previous box is transferred for further processing. The system can handle a wide range of formats with a few simple adjustments.

Right/left version (integrated into the right or left case packer).

Two robot grippers simultaneously perform separate tasks: while one of them loads products into the case, another waits until there are enough products on the accumulation station.

The customized grippers can be engineered for any irregularly shaped objects and large products. Whether the custom gripping tool is based on mechanical clamping or vacuum cups, the design will be robust and reliable.
