How can robot technology be applied to the packaging line? In the development of modern industry, the technology of robots is becoming more and more mature. Let's take a look at the specific application of automatic palletizing production line technology in this regard.
In the field of packing and palletizing operations, we are already familiar with the role of robots. But until now, the role of robots in the upstream I sequence of the packaging production line is still limited, which is mainly affected by the cost and technical complexity of the robot. However, all signs indicate that this situation is changing rapidly. For example, robots can stretch their hands in the upstream processes of the two main packaging lines. One process is to use a robot to connect the terminal of the processing process with a packaging equipment, such as an automatic packaging machine or a cartoning machine. Another process is to use robots to transfer the products after primary packaging to the secondary packaging equipment. At this time, it is also necessary to properly place the feeding part of the cartoning machine and the robot together.
The above two procedures are traditionally done by hand I. People are very good at dealing with random situations because of their ability to observe the things in front of them and how to deal with them. Robots are lacking in this respect, because in the past they used programs to control where they should go, what they should pick up, and where they should be placed. However, more and more robots are being used to complete tasks in the above fields. This is mainly because robots are currently smart enough to detect products coming from the production line and make corresponding actions based on many parameters. The improvement of robot performance is mainly due to the improvement of the reliability and processing power of the vision system. The vision system is mainly controlled by PC and PLC to complete the work. With the improvement of PC and PLC capabilities and the reduction of price, the vision system can be more effectively used in more complex applications, which was unimaginable before.
In addition, robots themselves are becoming more and more suitable for packaging operations. Robot suppliers have begun to realize that the packaging field is a very dynamic market. They have also begun to spend a lot of time and energy to develop robotic equipment suitable for this market. Develop robots that are highly automated but not suitable for packaging operations.
At the same time, the advancement of robotic grippers also allows robots to be used in product packaging operations that are difficult to handle. Recently, robot integration expert RTS Flexible Systems has developed a robot gripper that can be transferred without touching the pancake. This gripper is equipped with a mechanism that can squeeze the air into a special dark room, so that an upward traction is generated in the middle part of the gripper, or "air circulation", thereby moving the pancakes from the conveyor belt Lift up.
The four-axis design of the robot means that it can track a moving conveyor, so it can palletize boxes without stopping.
Looking to the future, the application field of robots will continue to expand. In addition, the progress of vision technology also means that robot systems will determine actions based on more complex and cumbersome parameters.
