Transnova-Ruf Verpackungs- und Palettiertechnik GmbH describes the robotic packaging system it is exhibiting at Fachpack as a space miracle. The Robot-Flexline packs round and oval blisters for sausage products or cheese on an area measuring 3.5 x 1.8 metres.

A camera system detects the axis alignment, the label and the film print. A Four-axis delta picker aligns the blisters and places them on top of each other in a display tray. At the same time, the tray is erected from the flat blank and fed to the packing station. Once the blister packs are complete, the tray is erected by 90 degrees and passes into the lid station. If the lid is glued, it can simply be pulled off as an inverted lid.

Robot-Flexline requires little space

The sales units are then palletised on a robotic palletising systemt. A six-axis robot uses a vacuum mould to take over the packaging and intermediate layers. The empty pallets are loaded at a level 85 millimetres high and lifted to 600 millimetres by a motorised lifting unit. The pallets are palletised on this level and then the packed pallet is removed from the Attachment promoted.

Using a cobot application to demonstrate Transnova call multi-sided labelling of the outgoing sales units. This application requires neither safety housing nor format adjustment, as the robot follows the labelling positions specified by the operator in the recipe. adapt automatically via adaptive programming can.
