PakTech, an official integrator of Fanuc Robots, uses 5-axis Fanuc
robots to apply TwinPaks to the MPA60, allowing the applicator to run
different handle styles. The robotic arms and heads provide flexibility
in application—the Alpha machine has two arms that apply TwinPak
handles to every-other case. The Integrated Vision System identifies
position, orientation, and speed of incoming product. This information
is fed to the robot arms which adjust to the location of each case. If
a case on the line is askew, the robot arm senses it and rotates
accordingly. Standard PakTech applicator components include stainless
steel frame, automatic cue stations, and touch-screen operations.
