ValTara, part of the Paxiom Group, has launched the PKR-Dual Delta Robot, its pick-and-place case packing cell designed to provide efficient, versatile and cost-effective packing processes for a range of packages.
The solution consists of two Delta robots that work together to quickly pick and place products into cases. While other case packing systems can be “complex and expensive,” this robot is designed for ease of use, minimal footprint, and affordability for businesses of all sizes.
ValTara hopes the PKR Dual Delta robot will offer customers versatility and efficiency by eliminating the need for large investments and avoiding overly complicated designs.
The system can reportedly handle bags, sachets, cartons, trays and a range of other packaging products – making it applicable to a wide range of manufacturers and industries, according to Paxiom Group.
“We are excited to launch the PKR-Dual Delta Robot pick-and-place case packing cell,” said Nicholas Taraborelli, Vice President of Paxiom. “This system represents the cutting edge of packaging technology and we are confident it will provide our customers with the speed, accuracy and efficiency they need to remain competitive in today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment.”
The PKR-Dual Delta Robot pick and place carton packing cell is now available from ValTara SRL.
Similarly, ABB Robotics expanded its industrial SCARA portfolio last December with the IRB 930 pick-and-place robot. Three variants are available for handling payloads of 12 kg and 22 kg, with the latter said to increase throughput by 10% by handling multiple heavy workpieces simultaneously.
In February, Proseal introduced its automated CDS Case De-Stacker, which de-stacks cases and delivers them to a case packing machine. The solution is designed to eliminate manual handling and loading for operators and aims to maximize efficiency, speed and user safety during the case packing process.
Shawpak also unveiled a single-piece flow system for medical devices, consisting of thermoforming lines integrated into robotic cells. Designed to reduce labor and handling, the ten machines reportedly package nearly 1.5 million devices every 24 hours and require only two operators per shift.
