Notice how cleverly the robot equipped with a universal gripper serves dozens of carton box formats, which allowed to move the operator to a different location in the process
A robot for unfolding carton box flaps and handing inserts:
A real challenge in this project was a large number of formats to serve. The smallest carton box was 300x150x145mm, while the biggest was 650x400x200mm. On top of that there were a few types of carton and it was necessary to handle inserts. Only a robot with an adequate tool was able to ensure the required flexibility.
Before the modernisation it wasthe only place in the processbetween the carton box forming machine and the packaging machine that wasoperated manually.
There were a couple of tasks to take care of:
pickup and correct orientation of an empty carton box
unfolding carton box flaps
placement of an insert
change of orientation of a loaded carton box and transfer to the sealer
The project was also interesting from the point of view of safety and ergonomics. The client wanted to have an option of switching to manual labour in case of failure or if the robot was to undergo service. That goal was attained, which also facilitated a start-up spread over time given the already mentioned number of formats.
The new robot allowed to increase the reliability of the entire 24/7 production process by eliminating the manual workplace, which originally seemed unfeasible.

Concept
Concept
We offer consultations in the course of which, accompanied by our Client, we analyse the assumptions of the project and based on a detailed survey we work out the investment budget.
We render services relating to the preparation of a comprehensive concept of the system. That includes the following:
– Specification of products, packaging type and pallet templates
– Efficiency analysis
– System operation algorithm
– 2D scheme
– 3D scheme
– Electric and pneumatic installation plans
– Power balance
– Component list
– List of collisions
– Work schedule
3D Design
3D Design
We design system layouts, integration with production processes and unit machines, such as: transports, turntables, stackers, pallet storages and robot grippers.
In the process of 3D designing, our engineers use Solidworks. In order to manage changes to the working plans and specifications, we use Solidworks PDM.
Control
Control
We devise applications for articulated robots, Delta, SCARA, as well as cooperating robots. We use 3D models to conduct simulations prior to starting production. At this stage, we can verify the required ranges and cycle times.
In addition to robots, we deliver comprehensive PLC software for operation and integration with the production process, as well as SCADA and HMI for visualisation.
Production
Production
A robotised process is a modular system. We buy some elements of the system (robots, wrappers, labelling machines) from our suppliers.
The list below includes the components manufactured by us and delivered in accordance with the contracted delivery schedule:
– Transport systems
– Cross transfers
– Turntable transfers
– Pickpoints
– Stackers
– Pallet storages
– Grippers
The production process involves the approval of the design, order for the production of prefabricated elements, machine assembly and workshop testing.
Commissioning
Commissioning
The system is implemented at the Client’s site under the supervision of the project manager.
Stage 1 includes mechanical assembly of the machines delivered, followed by pneumatic and electrical installations and, finally, software activation, in the course of which our engineers carry out the start-up test, production tests, optimisation as well as training for system operators and maintenance technicians.
Service
Service
We care for the safety of our application, both during and upon the expiry of the contractual warranty period
We offer a range of standard options as well as paid extended packages.
The differences concern the following: – Terms and conditions of delivery of service requests
– Service reaction times
– Availability of standard spare parts
– List of critical components
– Terms and conditions of remote VPN connection
– Terms and conditions of remote video monitoring
Control systems
Control systems
PLC drivers for process and machine applications
DCS systems for big technological applications
Safety systems for automation and robotics
Vision monitoring systems for inspection, colour recognition, failure detection and object identification
Total quality control: the cabinets are produced in our shop, by our installers and under the supervision of our designers.
Production process: – Acceptance of documentation
– Verification of submitted materials
– Distribution of elements
– Making holes in the housing

Our standards also encompass production assortment, manner of installation, as well labelling technology.
We perform electrical, pneumatic and teletechnical installations.
We know the hygiene standards (HACCP).
We have our own, detailed guidelines for every type of the installation
We inspect electrical cabinets with the use of a thermal vision camera.
Commissioning process: – I/O tests
– tests with no product
– tests with the product
– production optimisation
– training for technicians and operators
– assistance
