The case-packing robots can be configured to load different types of secondary packaging, adapting the gripper and grouping according to the product, structural strength, and required stability. The system can load:
- Cardboard boxes
- Base boxes + lid (Display/shelf ready)
- Cardboard trays
- Plastic trays
- Pre-formed packs or groupings
Pick & place systems can handle both rigid and flexible products, provided the head design and grouping system are adapted to their physical characteristics. The solution is sized according to shape, weight, and required throughput. They can handle:
The choice of automatic loading system is determined by the product characteristics, the required throughput, and the configuration within the secondary packaging. The design must guarantee accuracy, stability, and synchronization with the production line.
System selection is primarily based on:
- Speed or units per minute
- Product type (rigid or flexible)
- Weight and dimensions
- Required orientation within the box
- Grouping pattern
- Type of secondary packaging
- Level of line automation
