What does it do?
- Our smart-trak™ collation system is a vertical race track coupled with quick change over used primarily in our robotic units to index and group individual packages such as bags, pouches, wrapped products, etc. at extremely high speeds. Once a group has been collected it is independently transported to the robotic pick up point. This allows the robot sufficient dwell time (+/- .5 sec.) without having to stop the infeed.
How does it work?
- Our system, integrated into our robotic top loader or swing machine, uses two groups of holding bins, or pockets, with each group driven by its own servo driven timing belt. We call these groups "shuttle-belts". While one shuttle-belt is indexing to collate your product, the other belt has moved to, and stopped in, the pick-up position. After the product has been picked up, the group moves around the track to continue indexing new packages, while the other group now has moved to the pick-up position.
What can I collate?
- Bags, pouches, flow-wraps and other semi-rigid or irregular shaped products.
How productive is it?
- The Smart-Trak™ system can index your product at speeds of up to 300 indexes per minute.
How is the changeover?
- Each shuttle-belt is simply "clicked out" or "clicked in" to the drive system during a changeover. That¹s rightŠa complete changeover (different pitch and/or different number of package per group) can be complete in less than a minute!
Why should I use your collation module in my robot?
- ADAPTABILITY
No other vertical racetrack on the market can give you both the benefits of the high speed collation, with the ease of a tool-free and under one minute changeover!
- RELIABILITY
Extremely simple system, with a minimum of mechanical or pneumatic components, which allows for long term, trouble free operation.
- YOU WILL ENJOY WORKING WITH US!
