New technology from KEBA makes it possible to achieve a more productive and flexible pick & place system, with lower maintenance and energy costs, thanks to KEBA’s new “Look Ahead Path Planning” feature for multiple robots operating in a shared workspace, which has been added to its established KeMotion Packaging system.

Able to handle a variety of bottles, as well as non-round and unstable containers, Standard-Knapp’s Bottle Laner is designed to distribute bottles from a single-file line to multiple lanes, but can also redistribute two lanes into three or more if required.

With the servo-driven Neco-Orientor Inline “0/180” degree bottle orientor from Nalbach, bottles are accepted from a single lane source and, based upon a vision sensor’s output, allowed to pass if they are properly oriented, or spun 180 degrees if they are not properly oriented.
