Process layout
This is an automated packaging solution that replaces the manual process of stacking and bagging Petri dishes with a system powered by three Cartesian (Gantry) robots.
By utilizing a combination of three Cartesian robots, the system performs continuous operations at high speeds. The linear design of these robots allows for a compact installation, making it ideal for facilities with limited floor space while maintaining high throughput.

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Stacking: Products are stacked to a predefined count. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Alignment: Ensuring the stack is perfectly vertical and centered. |
| STEP 3. | Material Infeed: Feeding the packaging film or sleeve. |
| STEP 4. | Positioning: Moving the product stack to the exact packaging coordinates. |
| STEP 5. | Opening: Automatically opening the mouth of the packaging material. |
| STEP 6. | Insertion: Pushing the product stack into the packaging sleeve. |
| STEP 7. | Sealing: Hermetically sealing the entrance of the package. |
| STEP 8. | Discharge: Moving the finished package onto the outfeed conveyor. |
Features
Enhanced Production Efficiency
Minimized Idle Time: Continuous automated operation eliminates gaps in the workflow, leading to a direct improvement in overall production efficiency.
Streamlined Management: Reducing the number of manual touchpoints allows for a significant decrease in required human personnel, lowering operational overhead.
Cost-Effective Automation via Cartesian Robots
Space-Saving Design: Small-scale Cartesian robots allow for a compact installation tailored to the specific dimensions of the existing workspace.
Customized Engineering: The system is designed and built to meet exact requirements, significantly reducing initial investment costs compared to multi-axis industrial robots.
