On the way to full automation with the vision of virtually unmanned operation, Goldfu\u00df Engineering GmbH wants to close the remaining automation gaps with its systems.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The depth of automation in recent decades has progressed considerably, but usually ends where a manual process still seems to be a matter of course. On the way to full automation Goldfu\u00df Engineering GmbH<\/a> versatile systems to close the automation gaps that still exist, for example Feeding a hopper with bulk goods or a magazine with folding carton blanks<\/strong>automated from the pallet supplied by the AGV via the packaging material disposal to the magazine.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Certainly also due to the inevitable demand in the pharmaceutical market, the focus increasingly shifted to peripheral equipment for filling, inspection and packaging machines in connection with vaccines and liquid medicines. An example of this is the connection of the outlet of a filling machine with an inspection and packaging process operated in a separate room (with changing cleanroom class).<\/strong> Vials with outputs of 300 units or more per minute are laboriously collected in trays and stacked in trolleys at high labour costs in order to unstack them again at the remote downstream process and push them out of the trays.<\/p>

In this area, Goldfuss has two different solutions<\/strong> to automate processes and significantly reduce labour costs. The first solution covers the entire process from the filling machine outlet to the remote inspection machine. The second solution Automates the feeding of vials from Akylux boxes<\/strong> from the pallet to the turntable or the bi-flow belt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Solution A essentially comprises a trolley that can be used for automation, equipped with drawers and format-dependent magazine inserts. 2R, 6R and 10R vials can already be depicted in the basic version. Sizes such as 20ml, 50ml, etc. can be included as an option. The vials are inserted into the trolley at the outlet of the filling machine and removed from the trolley at the inlet of the inspection machine or packaging machine by a robot.<\/strong> In addition to handling the vials, the robot also opens and closes the drawers. The vials remain lined up throughout the entire process. The robot systems are equipped with floor scanners and can be operated without a mechanical safety enclosure, depending on the space available and the flow of people.<\/p>
