ATOMROBOT says a high-speed parallel robot has been installed on an eye-drop packaging line to transfer cartons into the cartoner’s moving slots. The company describes the project as a retrofit to an existing single-lane line, with the robot tracking the cartoner rather than stopping it for loading.
The system uses one 6.1-kilowatt parallel robot with vision recognition and dynamic tracking. ATOMROBOT lists a sustained rate of 120 packs per minute per robot and repeatability of ±2 millimeters for the slot-loading task.
The company says the robot replaced two workers at the station and doubled the loading operation’s efficiency. It also gives a 12-month payback estimate; neither figure is an independently audited result. The source does not identify the pharmaceutical customer.
