The
world's most flexible case packing solution for flexible packages.
What does it do?
Our Swing Machine has
the ability to pack bags AND cartons in stand-up
AND lay-down configurations on the SAME
machine!
How does it work?
horizontal
configuration (applies to standard swing machine
only):
Product is collated into a group using one of our custom
collation methods. The product is then picked by a specially
designed
end-effector. The fully servo-driven robot ensures smooth
placement into the secondary container.
vertical
configuration:Begins with collation and the picking
of the product just as the
lay-down configuration. Instead of loading directly into
the secondary container, the product is placed flat into
an intermediary cassette. Cases are tipped towards the cassette
and the entire stack is side-loaded into the secondary container.
What can I pack?
Ideal for bags, pouches,
cartons, etc. A number of our customers currently use the swing
machine to pack BOTH bags and cartons on one
machine!
How productive is it?
The top loader can
pack up to 300 bags per minute when using our Smart-Trak™
collation and up to 400 bags per minute when using our Smart-Bin™
collation system. Even higher speeds can be reached with rigid
containers.
How is the changeover?
End-effectors can be changed out within 30 seconds using a simple clamping mechanism. Most settings can be created from the operator panel and saved as unique product codes. The robotic motion is also easily changed and saved as unique product codes.
Why should I buy your robot?
The Swing Machine gives you the ULTIMATE IN FLEXIBILITY, in a market place where the customer is constantly demanding different packages and display containers.
YOU WILL ENJOY WORKING WITH US!
