At CeMAT and the Industrial Transformation expo, Robotic Automation, a leading integrator of industrial robotics in Australia, will be shining a spotlight on its latest technology advancements.
Robotic Automation has recently developed a new flexible carton packing line called MOTOPAK, which the company says will be unveiled shortly. This will work in line with Robotic Automation’s MOTOPAL palletising cell, which can have pallets exchanged with the company’s new line of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).
The company says the system is extremely flexible – with the ability to add additional robots to increase packing speeds if required. Multiple grippers are available to suit product types including, but not limited to, vacuum and paddle grippers; products can be presented for pickup in various ways; and cartons can be erected and presented in different ways for various packing layouts.
Another new release available through Robotic Automation and developed in collaboration with Sweden’s Yaskawa Nordic, the PackMaster is a fully automatic, mixed palletising solution for efficient palletising of mixed products on multiple size pallets.
According to Robotic Automation, the PackMaster offers an innovative solution to mixed pallet stacking and wrapping, and can be easily upgraded if required – from single to dual robots – to effectively double the stacking rate.
At the upcoming CeMAT/ Industrial Transformation show in Sydney on 22-24 July, Robotic Automation will display the PackMaster gripper with the Motoman Yaskawa GP180 robot, alongside the Motoman Yaskawa HC10 cobot, GP12 robot and Motomini. The company’s AMR range will also be on display, as well as the FX08 AGV forklift.
In other company news, Robotic Automation’s Sydney office has expanded to a larger location, facilitating a NSW Automation Hub. The facility was visited recently by the founder of Yaskawa YNR and the CEO of Yaskawa Europe. They presented several new offerings currently in R&D which the company hopes will be available in the next 12 months. The Glendenning-based facility will be able to host a range of events, and includes robotic training rooms and a full-time working demonstration area.
