Fibre King is demonstrating its new three-axis articulated arm robot on stand A140 at AUSPACK 2019, an innovation which it says will revolutionise collation and case packing.
Designed for end of line packaging, the robot can operate at a larger range than parallel arm kinematic systems, according to James Windsor, CEO Fibre King.
“It gives the user the ability to pack and load items that are difficult to work with, such as soft packaging,” said Windsor. “We developed the robotic arm to fill a gap we identified in the market, and it works into our existing product range to provide more flexibility in how products are handled.”
The new robot allows for flexibility in product handling, case packing, and layer forming for palletising, Fibre King claims, and can be expanded for multi-head case packers. According to Windsor, it is the newest expression of Fibre King’s mission to provide flexible, economical, compact robotic solutions that are capable of multitasking.
“As experience-led engineers, we get very excited about providing facilities with smart, simple solutions for complex production requirements,” said Windsor.
