FANUC and Roth Technik for Kunstoff-Packungen AG
Task
This automation job required placing plastic injection molded bottles into trays with individual cavities designed to keep each part separate from the others. In addition, the customer wanted a foam sheet to be placed in between the trays as they are layered on top of each other, to maintain a clean separation between the parts in one tray and the bottom of the tray on top. Normally, this work is done manually.
Solution
The solution provided by Switzerland-based Roth Technik involved two FANUC robots. The first was the six-axes M-10iD/10L with a payload of 10 kg, and the second was a four-axes SR-6iA robot with a 6 kg payload.
Result
The solution enabled Kunstoff-Packungen to run the manufacturing line autonomously, with autonomous operation for at least 8 hours at full speed, achieving cycle times of 0.8 seconds. Significant space savings were achieved because of the compact footprint of the solution.
