“Learn more about the performance of Delta Robots designed for packaging automation to increase your ROI (return on investment).â€
Whether you are planning a one-year, three-year or five-year or ten-year plan, you need to spend time thinking about a problem: how to expand your business. Here are a few things to consider:
â— Production line expansion
â— Product's distinctive package size
â— Distribution growth will lead to output growth
â— Does the existing packaging keep the product fresh and safe?
â— What causes downtime and how long?
All of this sounds simple, but in fact, whether it is now or in the future, these can only be achieved if the robotic automation and packaging equipment OEMs best meet your needs. It is very rare to make any adjustments to the production line and to design a suitable product for your existing production and packaging lines. With the advancement of technology, the popularity of knowledge and the recognition of the market, many manufacturers, even small new companies, are actively seeking automated robots. In just seven years, most production managers and business executives were skeptical about the introduction of robots on the packaging line for automated transformation, and with the installation, use and maintenance of robotic automation in actual production, skepticism Gradually disappearing, the robot no longer bears the notoriety of "difficulties in use." For most buyers, the ROI for deploying robotic automation is 16 to 24 months. Its return on investment has grown very rapidly, from lowering labor costs on the packaging line, increasing sustained output, to being able to work three shifts a day, and so on.
Existing triangular robot types on the market
Understanding the different types of robots, as well as their automated processes, will narrow down the selection and help you find the product that best suits your needs.
The type of robot is related to the way the robot never grabs and places the product. Here we take the Doboy Triangle robot as an example. The Delta Robot (parallel robot) in parallel axes is divided into three types: finishing, cross-belt, and built-in/parallel.
Finishing may be the most common of the three types. The finishing robot first organizes the incoming products into groups and then picks them up into a horizontal wrapper, a carton or a tray.
In the second type of cross-belt robot, the product flow direction and the outflow direction are vertical. For products with random positioning and orientation, crossover robots are ideal.
Third, built-in or parallel, the product flow is parallel to the outflow, but in the opposite direction. The built-in type is generally integrated into a cartoner to load the product into the carton. In addition, when the panel is integrated, the product should be placed on an information card or booklet, and a built-in or parallel robot should be used.
Different functions and structural combinations of robots
One robot unit can be equipped with 1 to 3 robot arms depending on the application requirements of the product. For example, a soft snack cake requires a gentler method of grabbing and placing, which is slower than grabbing a stronger product such as a wrapped card, while the latter can achieve very high speeds. The gripping device at the end of the arm, also known as the end effector, can be configured in a variety of configurations to grab and place almost all of the product. The most common is the use of vacuum suction cups and mechanical grippers. The end effector can be configured for a single grab or multiple grabs, which can grab 2 to 12 products at a time.
End effector gives the robot enough flexibility
Most robot manufacturers give their machines the flexibility to choose different types of end-receivers to capture single or multiple products, or different product types, depending on packaging needs. Another flexibility is the use of software programs to change or add prescriptions that control one or more arms within a robotic unit, which is important for long-term investment.
The combination of parallel-axis triangular robot technology and software allows the robot arm to work without any collision. How many arms are used in a robot cell is determined by several reasons, including the required production speed, the type of package being wrapped, and if it is located in the primary or secondary packaging area, how the product enters the upstream of the robotic unit, downstream of it. What method to use, in addition, whether the product is used in a single package or a bundle package, as well as available existing equipment, etc. are all factors to consider.
Robots help automate your plant
Today, many customers are beginning to understand that adding robotics to their production lines is financially more reasonable than expected. As mentioned earlier in the article, most manufacturers took back their investment within 14 to 16 months of adding robotic automation. Taking into account the many advantages of robotic automation, such as a single robot unit can significantly increase production, and can work in two shifts, three shifts all over the world, this return on investment cycle is very short. At the same time, due to the elimination of continuous and repetitive movements, the risk of employee injury is greatly reduced. In addition, the robot unit can be integrated into other packaging machines to provide continuous flow to the customer's packaging line.
