Pw 22445 Sil Ser S17 Uni 37

Reaches line speeds of 200 products/min. No-tool changeovers are accomplished with knobs and hand devices. Accommodates products ranging from 2" x 3" to 17.5" x 11".

A high-speed linear gantry replaced the delta-style robot commonly used by Nuspark in tray-loading applications like these.
Gantry Robot Replaces Delta-style
When space constraints made it difficult to use the top-mounted delta-style robot that Nuspark was accustomed to, the firm opted for a compact gantry-style robot in its tray packer.
