Robotic palletising and LGVs

13 March, 2009 | Supplied by: Hot Melt Packing Systems

The Euroimpianti Skilled ANT101 is a simple palletising robot. It has a modular construction and can be adapted to any pre-existing product conveyor and packaging line. The fully automatic, compact line dedicated palletisers remove the need for conveying to a centralised palletising area and enable independence of production lines. The Cartesian structured robot with four degrees of freedom houses one or two palletising stations and one pick-up conveyor. Its pick-up station conveyor has sloping rollers in order to guide and centre the cases before pick-and-place palletising. The adjustable pick-up gripper of mechanical or venturi vacuum style equipped with an anti-collision safety device provides the most flexible and reliable pick-and-place operation.


Bi-planar chain conveyor

13 March, 2009 | Supplied by: Milmeq Pty Ltd

The Realcold Millers Mechanical 3D-Veyor Bi-Planer Chain Conveyor systems are especially suitable for the food processing industry and have applications in many other areas requiring conveying systems.


Vibrators

13 March, 2009 | Supplied by: Vibration Systems & Solutions (Australia) Pty Ltd

Standard pneumatic or electric vibrators are still the easiest option to help material flow from bins. They are easily fitted, needing only a channel or plate welded to the outside of the bin, with no cutting of the bin wall or requirement for any work in a confined space. In many cases this can be done with product in the bin, so that production is not interrupted. Regular-shaped circular or square hoppers usually only need one unit, giving savings in installation costs and in the cost of air, in the case of pneumatic models.
