Insights

Key Insights from Task to Result

Task

The success of automated packing and palletising systems relies on many factors. Key among them is the choice of robot. Due to the specific demands of these applications, experienced system integrator Keramik Makina knows that using dedicated palletising robots brings about a multitude of important benefits.

Solution

Tasked with designing and manufacturing automated packing and palletising systems for the paint plant of its customer Polisan Kansai, Türkiye-based system integrator Keramik Makina opted for FANUC M-410𝑖C series palletising robots. The dedicated kinematics of these powerful four-axis robots facilitates the best possible level of palletising efficiency.

Result

With FANUC robots in place on both palletising and shrink hood lines at Polisan Kansai, the paint plant can now achieve an impressive production capacity of 4000 tons (or 5700 pallets) per day.

Story

Paint Plant Brushes Inefficiency Aside with FANUC Robots

Keramik Makina was tasked with providing a number of automated packing and palletising operations at the paint factory of Polisan Kansai in Dilovasi, Türkiye. The plant fills around 15 tubs of paint (7.5 litres each) for the home decorating market every minute.

Looking to improve the production capacity and quality of its packing and palletising, the company turned to nearby Keramik Makina for assistance. Keramik Makina is a solution partner and system integrator of the world's biggest and most familiar robot manufacturer, FANUC.

Keramik offers high-quality robotic palletising solutions, tailoring each one to the client's specific products and processes. Bringing advanced technology and design together allows the company to solve any palletising task with the highest possible efficiency. In addition, the option to design and manufacture multifunctional tools for the same FANUC robot, makes Keramik an innovative industry competitor.

At the paint factory of Keramik customer Polisan Kansai, FANUC’s purpose-designed M-410𝑖C series four-axis palletising robots see engagement in a variety of high-efficiency tasks. Alongside a number of high-quality palletising operations, these tasks include loading multiple paint tubs to the cap control unit and loading tubs to the positioner unit on the stretch hood line.

Stretch hood applications protect palletised loads from environmental factors such as humidity, dust, rain and sunlight, as well as possible transport damage. A stretch hood is a cost-effective system designed to bring a sustainable approach to packaging and improve productivity. Offering both vertical and horizontal film tension, the machines feature a simple and maintenance-friendly film feed device, vacuum film opening system, encoder-monitored mechanical stretch units and a film applicator.

Some FANUC robots operate in pairs on the same stretch hood and palletising lines, providing perfect harmony and further increasing efficiency. The combination of Ceramic system integration knowledge and FANUC robot technology means Polisan Kansai can now achieve an impressive production capacity of 4000 tons (or 5700 pallets) per day.
