Elaborate packaging always new challenges and a high degree of flexibility to the packaging lines. A special role is played by the type and design of the packaging of the products in the consumer goods industry. Therefore an imaginative and attractive packaging will increasingly influence the purchasing decisions of consumers.
The FLG Automation AG has made this task successfully and developed and installed a flexible robotic packaging line for interdental brushes. The attractively presented to the customer in the blister pack products in different colors, grades, combinations with varying geometry were based and challenge for the design of the packaging line.
In addition, there was a high output with high process reliability, as well as the shortest changeover time of the packaging line ensure. The transport of the prefabricated packaging takes place in a linear transfer system with workpiece carriers. Along the transport path the individual stations such as palletizing, joining and handling robots and feeders for bulk materials are constructed.
The Tiefziehtrays with interdental brushes contained therein are separated from Standardpalettierzellen of FLG. Two Scara robots will ensure continuous and flexible removal of the brush from the trays and fill the waiting workpiece support as needed with a different arrangement and number of brushes.
The to-install for reasons of hygiene on the brush caps are fed partly as bulk with a centrifugal feeder or via an upstream Pad printing plant and then plugged by a 6-axis robot.
At the end of the packaging, the products are inserted through two 6-axis robot in the blister packaging and sealed.
