Thermoform Product - Robotic material handling and palletizing

This system is comprised of as a series of dual robotic cells installed in our customer’s facility. Custom-designed machine automation works to properly separate and manage part stack size. FANUC R2000 robot handles part stacks in order to feed next operations, buffer part content and reject improper stacks for human inspection. Each series has a first cell that manages thermoform product exiting customer forming machines. Product is nested for the correct stack density and then transferred to a conveyance system. The second cell palletizes stacks of product to that they can be transported. Some of the main advantages that this system provides for the customer: • Improved consistency of handling of a challenging product, which by its nature is easily affected by environment and material properties and inconsistencies. In particular this improvement was felt in the ability to properly build and transport pallets of material. • AMT was able to customize each series of production cells to work within small building constraints and with location of monument machinery in order to provide for function, safety and flexibility. • Customized human-machine interface (HMI) allowed for more dynamic operator control of the system in order to help manage the impact of upstream and downstream events. This also provided detailed diagnosics, simplified error recovery and operator ease of use. Thermoform Product - Material Handling and Palletizing Formed product is arranged into metered stacks Stacks can be buffered inside the cell to manage flow Rejected stacks exit the automated cell Conveyor system transfers product to a palletizing area Stacks of product are sized and robotically handled A pallet configuration is built including stabilizing caps Conveyors move completed pallets through the system Pallets are wrapped for transportation and storage For more information about AMT visit http://www.appliedmfg.com
