Pearson’s Random Robotic Case Erector (RRCE) enables reliable forming of up to six case sizes at speeds of up to 10 cases per minute in a single cell. The RRCE eliminates the need for multiple erectors, which saves valuable floor space and costly changeover time. Advanced features such as non-contact interlocks, CAT-3 Safety Circuits and an easily accessible grace port are standard on the cell.
Easily-programmable pick sequence based on priority and quantity selections
Miss-Pick Prevention
The knockdown pick-off uses an articulated motion to peel blanks off the magazine reducing required pull force to avoid miss-picks.
Reliable Opening of Knockdowns
A dual opposed vacuum force reliably opens the knockdown by grasping the case from both sides simultaneously to prepare the case forming.
Consistently Square Cases
Synchronized dual chain drive transports case through closing and sealing section ensuring completed cases are square as they exit the machine.
Flexible Addition of Magazines
Up to three dual stacked powered magazines support ergonomic restocking without disrupting production
Zero Minute Changeover
Multiple magazines and random picking eliminate the need for changeovers.
Highly Reliable Non-Contact Interlocks
Eliminates misalignment of guard door interlocks which prevents problems common to keyed interlocks.
Safety Redundancy with CAT 3
Dual channel safety circuit maintains integrity of safety features in case of single component failure.
Easily Accessible Grace Port
Grace ports provide convenient communication access and 110V convenience outlet at the outside of the machine’s electrical cabinet.
Convenient Dual Access to the Machine
A remote operator station enables machine control on both sides of the conveyor.
Remote Access Capability
Allows Pearson’s support team on-demand access to the equipment’s PLC and HMI through a secure VPN connection via an eWON router (ISECOM STAR and ISO27001 certified) to support emergency troubleshooting and reduce on-site visits.

Random Robotic Case Erector
Pearson’s Random Robotic Case Erector (RRCE) is programmed to pick up to 6 different case sizes in a random sequence. A vacuum end-of-arm tool uses articulated motion to pick and peel open cases, while the sealing station auto-adjusts to the case height and width. Each cell comes with Pearson’s user-friendly HMI and remote access capability.
This robotic case erector is flexible enough to accommodate multiple case sizes within a minimal footprint, randomly selecting the right case. Ergonomic magazines can be reloaded without halting production.
Yes. The case hand type determines the closing and sealing set up. At this time, all magazines must be supplied with cases of the same hand. You can easily determine case hand by standing in front of your corrugate knockdown (flat unopened case) with the bottom flap pointing downwards. The larger side of the case now determines the hand as seen in the illustration. Case hand generally determines machine hand. However, since the industry does not use the machine hand terminology consistently, Pearson only asks for case hand. From there we will determine the correct machine configuration for you.
Pearson standardizes on Allen Bradley, PanelView1000+. Our user-centric interface is built on the Rockwell platform and cannot be applied to other HMI brands.
The above list of upgrade options only covers our most popular items intended to enhance the performance of your machine. Our configuration and customization options are extensive. To determine any necessary or desired modifications to the base machine, we review and consult with you on your individual application.
If a quick, high-level budgetary quote is all you need, we are happy to provide you with the base machine rate. However, the more information you provide us about your particular application, the more accurately we can quote you. It also enables us to identify potential challenges and discuss how we can overcome them. If you are interested in a detailed quote, expect our sales managers to discuss the following questions with you.
Case rates
Case Style (RSC, HSC, Bliss, FOL, etc..)
Case dimensions (LxWxD, Open Depth and KDW, Drawings are preferred)
Tape or glue closure
Construction type (mild steel, stainless steel, stainless with NEMA4X low-pressure washdown)
Environment of room where equipment will be placed – Hot, cold, wet, temp
Duty cycle (ie. 3 shifts per day 5 days per week)
Voltage requirement
Product inside the cases (pictures preferred)
Estimated full case weight
Wish list for upgrade options
Special requirements
Are there specifications that need to be reviewed?
If all you need is a high-level budgetary quote, we will provide you base-level machine pricing immediately. If you are looking for a more detailed quote, we will reach out to you within 24 business hours to discuss your application and collect all the necessary information. Once we collected the information, expect a detailed quote within 2-4 business days (unless your application requires non-standard options). For a firm quote, we generally like to review a sample of your case(s)/partitions/bags. This greatly reduces the risk of missing any potential obstacles and ensures that you receive not only the most accurate quote but also a high-performing machine. If your request requires a specifications response, please allow 7-10 working days for a quote turnaround.
Case samples allow us to help you avoid unforeseen challenges, determine the need for special options or recommend a different machine model better suited for your application. In nearly 65% of all projects, case sample reviews prevent costly mistakes, inferior performance and extended lead times. Here is a small sample of unwanted problems case reviews uncovered and averted:
Samples did not match drawings, which drove a change to the proposal
Unidentified shied flaps
Case hand was not identified on drawings or different
Product fit too tight or too loose into the case
The case’s manufacturer’s joint location or style interfered with the product being loaded
Corrugate quality issues interfering with proper machine performance
Bag thickness/construction/size did not match the requirements
Flap folding sequences/glue patterns requiring special attention
Head space in cases requiring special options or over pack interfering with proper sealing
Although we’d like to review case samples before we provide a firm quote, we understand that this is not always possible. In that case, we will provide a quote based on the information and drawings you provided.
