This application case features an automated ink cartridge packaging solution utilizing the Epson C4 6-axis robot. By integrating a tool changer, the system performs multiple tasks—box handling, cartridge insertion, and QR code inspection—within a single compact cell.

The seamless transition between tasks minimizes idle time, maximizes productivity, and simplifies process management through a unified automation flow.
