Theegarten-Pactec has now launched a newly developed robot feeder with camera recognition. The Vision Picker ensures a flexible and cost-effective packaging process.
With the Vision Picker even particularly sensitive products can be flexibly packaged using a bundle wrapper. These include, for example, moulded chocolate figures at a speed of 400 products per minute.
This is where the CWM2 The company has now optimised the tried-and-tested packaging machine accordingly and, in doing so, has Feeding the products from the downstream product flow to the robot. Previously, Theegarten-Pactec machines had to work with counter moulds for robot feeding.
Thanks to the new development, there is no need for time-consuming counter-mould handling during the packaging process. A Integrated image processing system now recognises individual products from the disordered product flow. Each product is then individually sucked in by the robot and placed in the correct position in the packaging machine's feed chain.
In a modified configuration, the robot feeder can also be combined with high-performance machines from Theegarten-Pactec. This makes it possible to feed products with an output of more than 1,000 pieces per minute to the packaging machines.
