High-Speed Product Stacking to Multi-Pack Flow Wrapper Infeed Conveyor

A high-speed pick-and-place system for stacking fixed-size pillow bags into a multipack flow wrapper infeed. It handles four formats and manages speed surges of up to +20%, ensuring consistent throughput. Features include 3-Axis Delta Robot, conveyors, and a servo collator for precise handling. Built with 304L stainless steel for hygienic food applications, it meets GMP standards.
The Robotic Pick and Place System is designed for handling fixed-size, primary wrapped pillow bags and stacking them into the infeed conveyor of a multipack flow wrapper. The system seamlessly receives bags from a primary bagger, with the bags delivered narrow edge leading, fin-side up, and oriented within +/- 10 degrees. This system efficiently manages four formats for loading into multipacks, offering flexibility for high-volume food packaging operations.

The system is capable of handling gaps in product flow and accommodating speed surges of up to +20%, ensuring consistent throughput even during fluctuating production speeds. The process includes a 3-Axis Delta Robot with a multi-pick vacuum gripper that provides precise handling and stacking of the pillow bags.

The system features include Receiving and Transport Conveyors, Pace & Launch Conveyors, and a Fixed-Pocket Servo Collator to ensure precise and reliable product handling. Designed with 304L stainless steel construction, the system is built for hygienic food applications, featuring a polished, fabricated finish and hygienic levelling feet for easy cleaning.

Equipped with fail-safe sensors and a safety control system, this system is optimized for food production environments, meeting GMP design standards and ensuring safety and product integrity throughout the process.
