Descripción de la operación

The line includes a Case Erector, Robotic Top Load Case Packer, Case Sealer, and Robotic Palletizer.

Entre las características más destacadas del sistema se incluyen:

  • Compact layout with small-footprint equipment
  • 2D vision and line tracking support precise product placement
  • Continuous, efficient operation is ensured by integrating a 2-person hand pack station for small-batches or additional support and a dual-floor palletizer
  • The sealer's by-pass function and the palletizers multi-functioning end-of-arm tool support both, open and closed top cases
  • Changeovers are fast and simple with automatic robotic adjustments and an intuitive HMI with graphical guidance to help operators easily navigate mechanical changeover points

The CE25-T Case Erector automatically forms the cases. To fit into the available space, the case erector and conveying to the loading cell is positioning across from the case packer and sealer in a parallel layout.

Bags of tortillas enter the case packing cell in a single row as FANUC IR Vision registers their orientation. Simultaneously, cases enter the cell with their position being tracked for precise loading. Two SCARA robots, sharing the workload and chosen for their small footprint, pick the products and place them into the cases in a smooth motion until the cases are full and discharged from the RTL-MX.  All robot motions, such as product location and placement depth into the case, are changed automatically when a new recipe is selected.

For backup support or small batch runs, an additional two person hand packing station is available and integrated into the flow of the line. Products will be received from the RTL, while cases will be brought to the operators in groups to be packed in each station and sent on to the end of the case conveyor to be transported to the CS15 Case Sealer. Using pressure-sensitive tape, this small footprint machine efficiently seals the corrugated cases. In case of open-top (HSC) cases, the sealer offers a convenient by-pass function avoiding any additional conveying.

Finally, the boxes continue to the two-station palletizer, where a pallet is manually introduced by an operator with a base sheet already in place if required. After being conveyed into the pick area, the robot picks a single case using a mechanical fork style tool that accommodates both RSC and HSC cases. The case is it on the pallet according to the selected stack pattern. When required, a layer sheet is automatically picked by the robot from the integrated sheet magazines. Once the pallet is full, the robot begins palletizing on the second pallet ensuring continuous operation while an operator is being notified, who then manually removes the full pallet and replaces it with an empty one.

Diseño centrado en el usuario

El diseño centrado en el usuario busca que la interacción con nuestras máquinas sea lo más intuitiva posible. Todas las máquinas Pearson cuentan con una interfaz de usuario uniforme y altamente intuitiva, que sigue los principios comunes del diseño web, con iconos familiares, mapas interactivos e instrucciones gráficas paso a paso. Nuestro objetivo es reducir la curva de aprendizaje para sus operadores y técnicos de mantenimiento, minimizar el margen de error humano y lograr que la configuración, el cambio de formato y la recuperación de fallos sean procesos rápidos y fluidos, lo que se traduce en un mayor tiempo de actividad y disponibilidad del equipo.
