This solution is a packaging demonstration process designed to enhance high-speed logistics transfer and packaging productivity by integrating a high-speed linear moving solution (Rockwell iTRAK) with a customized robot system.

The system showcases the seamless synchronization between intelligent track technology and robotic handling to optimize modern packaging lines.

Components

Robot	Transport System: Rockwell iTRAK Intelligent linear motor track for independent carrier control and high-speed indexing. Robot: Customized Gantry Robot System A tailor-made gantry solution designed for high-payload stability and precise top-loading capabilities.

Workflow

STEP 1.	Product Pickup & Line Loading: Raw products are picked and precisely loaded onto the high-speed linear track carriers.
STEP 2.	Product Stacking: Items are grouped or pre-stacked according to the required packaging configuration.
STEP 3.	Content Loading: The gantry system picks the prepared products and loads them into the boxes.
STEP 4.	Box Packing & Discharge: Completed boxes are packed and transferred to the final stacking and discharge line.

Recommended Use Cases

Palletizing Boxes using Comau PAL-180-3.1

This application is a solution that uses the Comau PAL-180-3.1 to palletize heavy beverage boxes. When humans repeatedly move large and heavy objects, it places a significant strain on the musculoskeletal system and cannot be sustained for long periods. On the other hand, large articulated robots are suitable for moving large and heavy objects as they can quickly move and stack items in desired positions.

Removing Protective Sheets for Pharmaceutical Equipment using Zeus Robots

This application case features an automated process for removing protective sheets from pharmaceutical equipment using Zeus ZERO industrial robots. By integrating various automation technologies including robotics, this solution is designed for diverse industries with rigorous quality standards, such as semiconductor and pharmaceutical production environments.

Arc Welding of Electrical Wiring Ducts using Two YASKAWA AR1440 Robots

This application case features two YASKAWA AR1440 robots specifically designed for arc welding electrical wiring ducts. By utilizing two welding robots in coordination with a rotating turntable (positioner), the system rapidly performs precise welding at all required joint locations, ensuring high-speed production and structural integrity.
