Simultaneous Multiple Package Case Packer

원문 (중국어)

A system, its components, and method of operation for loading articles into multiple cases is presented and includes a robotic assembly having a vertical arm movably connected to a frame at one end and a rail centrally engaged at the other. At least two end of arm tools (EOATs) are engaged to the rail, with each EOAT being capable of independent and coordinated sliding and rotational movement relative to the rail. A sensor is positioned above an upstream location of an article conveyor to detect speed, position and orientation characteristics of articles and communicating those characteristics to the robotic assembly. The robotic assembly is configured to move each of the EOATs to match the speed, position and orientation of one of the articles, and then, pick up each article, and transport each article to one of a plurality of cases positioned in a loading area.
