Robotics has a long history of application in the field of packaging engineering. Packaging There are many aspects of robotic operations, the most mature of which are stacking, packing, and filling robots. In the United States, Japan, Germany and many other countries, many packaging processes are completed using robots. At the annual International Packaging Machinery Exhibition, new packaging robots will be introduced.
The use of packaging industrial robots is mainly used for the handling, handling, stacking, etc. of bulky and bulky objects; the packaging of clean products that the human body cannot contact, such as foods, pharmaceuticals, especially biological products and microbial preparations: and chemicals that are harmful to the human body Raw material packaging. With the maturity of robotics and the realization of industrialization, the scope of application of robots in the field of packaging engineering is becoming wider and wider. There are:
(1) Collection packing: packing multiple packages one at a time.
(2) Bagging of powder sacks: The powder is loaded in a special soft bag at a time, and stacking at a specific location is completed at the same time. For example, cement and chemical product powders are packed in bulk bags.
(3) High-speed cartoning, folding and sealing, multi-station packaging
Some large cartons and pallets are quickly packed in multi-stations, such as folding, pressing, sealing, etc., after the cartons have been filled with goods.
(4) Handling of heavy materials
The packaging, handling and tying of heavy-duty products that are difficult to handle by people. Such as metal castings stacking, binding, wrapping, especially in precious non-ferrous metals ingots, copper ingots, zinc ingots and so on. There is also the handling and stacking of frozen meat and products in large cold storage facilities.
(5) Packaging of fragile items
Grouping bottled products into containers, such as bottled beer, bottled beverages, etc.
(6) Harmful liquid packaging chemicals and pesticides such as the filling of harmful liquids.
(7) Identification and detection
For some packaging products and packaging goods in different conditions, different parts of the automatic identification and a variety of information detection, but also has the classification and classification functions.
The above work depends on artificially completing the research and application of robotics.
The type of packaging robot:
(1) The bagging robot is difficult. To promote
The bagging robot is a fixed rotating frame, and the body can be rotated 360 degrees. The robotic manipulator can complete the bag conveying, bag opening, metering, filling, sewing bags and stacking. This is a smarter packaging robot.
(2) Packing robot
Similar to bagging robots, general metal and glass packaging containers are packed with rigid box robots. For packing (articles)
There are two kinds of mechanical and air suction. It can move entirely. The package is grabbed or absorbed and then delivered to the box or tray in the designated location. It has the function of directionality and position automatic adjustment, which can realize no unloading of the box (pallet) and direction adjustment. This kind of robot is a kind of mature robot and it is widely used. Such as drinks, beer, cosmetics, cigarettes, etc.
(3) Stacking robot
This is a powerful robot.
