This application case features an automated stacking solution for food accessory packaging, utilizing the Universal Robots UR10 and the OnRobot RG6 gripper. The system is designed to handle over 1,000 different types of accessories, neatly stacking them according to preset quantities to streamline the final boxing process. By automating these auxiliary tasks, the solution significantly reduces the total time required for packaging operations.

Components

Robot
  • Robot: Universal Robots UR10

    • Type: 6-axis articulated collaborative robot

    • Payload: 10kg

    • Reach: 1,300mm (Horizontal)

    • Weight: 33.5kg

    • Repeatability: ±0.05mm (Spec adjustment: standard UR10 repeatability is ±0.05mm)

    • Protection Rating: IP54

  • Gripper: OnRobot RG6 (Multi-purpose flexible gripper)

Workflow

STEP 1.Infeed: Food accessories are fed into the system.
STEP 2.Identification: The barcode reader recognizes the product type and information.
STEP 3.Handling: The robot picks up the product and stacks it in the designated area.
STEP 4.Alignment: The stacked products are precisely aligned to facilitate easy boxing.

Features

Compact Installation and High Cost-Effectiveness

  • Minimal Layout Changes: Collaborative robots can be integrated into existing lines without major structural modifications.

  • Low Initial Investment: The compact footprint minimizes installation and infrastructure costs.

  • Process Efficiency: Adding the automated auxiliary stacking process significantly shortens the overall packaging cycle time.

Increased Versatility with Multi-Purpose Gripper

  • Flexible Handling: Uses a long-stroke scissor-type gripper to handle a wide range of product sizes and shapes.

  • Agile Adaptability: Seamlessly adapts to new product models or changes in packaging specifications.
