A compact case packing cell using an ABB IRB 1200 robot to do all of the operations. The robot opens the case and does a jiggle using a clever jig to close the bottom flaps. Products are accumulated into a layer and loaded into the case. A case holds 4 layers.
The system includes print inspection and also inspection to ensure that there is 6 individual products in the wrapped carton. If the inspection registers a fail, a gate drops on the infeed conveyor and the product is conveyed out of the cell.
The 2 case flat pack magazines allow the operator to safely replenish each stack without stopping the machine.
