Product Double Stacking
Reorientating and double stacking product in preparation for flow wrap packaging.
Product infeed rate is 90 parts per minute. The machine uses a Fanuc M-1iA D 6-axis Delta Robot to pick, place and reorientate the part.
Don’s Smallgoods central palletiser
Don’s Smallgoods central palletiser
This central palletiser was installed in 2009 and is still going strong.
Receiving over 9,000 cartons per hour from 27 packing lines, with 16 robots and 32 pallet stations the system outputs over 100 wrapped pallets per hour.
The system is serviced by AGV delivering stacks of empty pallets and taking the finished pallets away.
Featuring ABB 4600 robots the system uses custom rail shuttles to transfer the pallets from pallet preparation to each station then on to the stretch wrapper..
Cake loading to trays
Cake loading to trays
Automated loading of cakes onto trays.
The trays are de-nested using an ABB robot.
The operator can replenish the stacks of trays without stopping the robot loading.
The tray stacks from the box occasionally come wedged together causing the robot not being able to pickup the tray. In this situation the robot after a couple of attempts will automatically start loading from the other side of the de-nester. A tower lamp alerts the operator of the presence of a wedged tray. They can then rectify the problem and allow the robot to resume de-nesting from that stack.
The cakes come in sets of 4 at a rate of 900 per hour. Using conveyor tracking the robot will pick up the cake and place it in the tray.
