Typical Systems
Pick & place systems include robotic arm
installations utilising their "Partner" relationship with Fanuc through
to their own mechanical 3-axis unit.
All systems are servo driven and can
achieve a throughput of up to 120 packs per minute, placing items into
plastic or cardboard trays and containers.
Packs are conveyed into the cell and
accumulated into the desired arrangement prior to being picked up. With
a payload of up to 4.5Kg, if required, a complete layer can be
transferred at once resulting in a high performance, reliable system
with as few operations as possible per tray or box.
As well as packing trays and boxes,
variations allow for the automatic filling and indexing of dollies,
trolleys and carts. Typical systems include a pack accumulation system
and an automatic supermarket dolly indexing system with a Fanuc robotic
arm loading the cart with bags of produce.
Vision Systems
To enhance pick & place systems, state of
the art vision solutions, installations can identify a variety of pack
characteristics in preparation for picking, these include colour, size,
product, weight and even orientation. |

Safety Requirements
All systems are supplied with approved safety fencing with Smartscan entry/exit guards and a safety key lock system.
Pack & Tray Specification
Typical packs include:
Because of the flexibility of the pick &
place systems, virtually anything that is of a regular shape and size
can be picked and placed.
Planning In
pick and place systems are designed for the space and environment they
are to be used in. As well as speed and product requirements there are
safety aspects to be considered. Potential systems require a full site
survey and careful planning to provide the perfect solution to the
customers needs.
