Robotic Case Packer
The robotic pick and place case packer is an extremely flexible machine designed to pack into cases, display boxes or trays. Konek Technology robotic case packers are designed with safety, durability, productivity and efficiency as the top design criteria. Robotic systems excel at completing repetitive tasks quickly and accurately and they also provide a great deal of flexibility for handling different types of products in the same system. Designed to provide maximum flexibility, performance and reliability in an extremely small footprint, the Konek Technology robotic case packer is ideal for the most demanding and space conscious production environments.
Konek Technology’s fully automatic case packing systems require no operator assistance and will erect, load and seal cases independently. The main concept of this equipment is to integrate a robot cell (pick and place) in its production line. Cartons are erected and fed into position where the system will initiate the packing process. In a robotic case packing automated system, products are automatically transferred into the robotic cell via conveyor or sorters and are queued for packing. The products are always grouped and packaged in the same position. The robotic system searches for the products and automatically inserts them in the box. the carton is filled it will be sealed and exit the system. The robot will proceed to continue the packing process with the next container. The cycle repeats until filling the box. All movements are controlled by a PLC. Our robotic case packers account for product irregularities and easily solve orientation challenges thanks to vision guided robotics.
The modular-designed top load robotic case packer system brings several attractive features to customers who are looking to add automation to more efficiently manage their packing needs and sustain their business growth. Its modular design allows you to choose the number of robot stations according to your desired production rates. The robotic case packer is a highly adaptable case packing solution that offers multiple options to match your packaging requirements. Quick change end of arm tooling can prepare the same robot to handle products of varying sizes or shapes. Despite the advanced technology and the high degree of automation, its simplicity of use means that it does not require high personal specialization.
The robotic case packer series is the ideal robotic solution to upgrade your packing operations of food, health care, or industrial products, including:
- Fresh produce, snacks, confectionery, bakery, and pet food.
