Robot grouping system for optimal layer patterns
Turning and positioning packs for accurate palletising
There are already far beyond 1,000 Robobox machines* in operation - to the great joy of their operating companies and machine operators. For the grouping system does its job with utmost precision and reliability. At the request of our customers, Krones developers are remaining faithful to these virtues in future machine generations – while adding extra doses of power, flexibility and user-friendliness.
At a glance:
- New generation of the fully-automatic grouping system
- Positive turning and distribution of non-returnable packs
- Also ideal for non-carbonated products and lightweight containers
- Output of up to 500 layers per hour
- Individual adjustment to fit in with the line through the simple combination of two modules
*As of 1/2022
- The packs are fed into the grouping module on one or more lanes.
- The gripper head is lowered onto the packs and picks them up individually or in groups – depending on the layer pattern that has been defined.
- The guide unit of the gripper head makes it possible to precisely position the packs in the x and y-direction and, in the c-axis, to use turning movements to make adjustments to suit the layer pattern.
