The transnova-RUF packaging and palletising technology GmbH from Ansbach will be exhibiting a Robot-Flexline case packer with automatic carton magazine loading and integrated carton palletising at FachPack 2019: A six-axis robot equipped with a smart multifunctional tool erects and fills cartons.

Compared to conventional solutions, this offers significantly greater flexibility, for example 50 per cent space saved. The cartons are then palletised by a robot.

The carton magazine of the case packer is automatically loaded by a robot. Strapped cardboard bundles are picked directly from the pallet and placed in the magazine. The strapping is cut open with a cutting tool and removed by robot.

Both the magazine loading cell and the palletising cell can be used as Cooperative robot solution can be designed for operators and robots to work side by side in a confined space. This makes it possible to work sequentially in the shared work area, for example for manual handling of pallets or just for passing through the robot work area.

Access to the cooperation area is not via a fence but by means of a Area scanner secured. In the event of an approach, the speed is then reduced in a graduated, safe manner up to a safe category 1 stop. Automatic restart. This solution enables Saving space and increasing efficiency due to a shorter pallet changeover time.
