When it comes to in-line production, it is important to manage the infeed and/or outfeed of the machines, be it injection molding, blow molding or otherwise.
One way to do this is through advanced automation solutions using triple-axis robotic arms (also called Cartesian robots, because they move in the X, Y and Z axes).
These robots, of the Pick & Place type, provide benefits for both the worker and the company. They provide greater safety in the plant by reducing exposure to risky tasks, improve product quality and increase production capacity.
In addition, through the application of sensors, they can control the quality of the finished product.
The purpose of automation for packaging production machines is to make the handling of parts on the line much more efficient, avoiding contamination of the final product. A benefit of this reduced handling is the associated cost reduction.
Automation systems by means of robots can also be implemented for the assembly, packaging and palletizing stages, increasing the efficiency of the whole process.
At PET Packaging Network we can advice and offer machinery that integrates this type of advanced automation solutions for the industry.
