Task

The requirement is for a flexible and high-performance packaging solution for packing bags into a wide variety of packaging formats. The system must cover a broad spectrum of primary packaging sizes – from small packs with only 3 products to large packs with up to 48 products. Furthermore, various packaging types such as wrap-around cartons and trays with or without lids must be processed. In addition, a high output of up to 210 products per minute is required, along with gentle handling of the bags.

Our solution

With the Robot Flex Line RV‑400, transnova‑RUF offers a highly flexible robotic packaging solution for these requirements. The bags are picked directly from the running infeed belt using a line tracking function, without interrupting the product flow. An integrated 3D inspection sensor precisely detects the position and shape of the products, enabling safe pick-up by the picker robot. The system processes a wide variety of packaging types, from wrap-around cartons to trays with or without lids, and also handles secondary packaging in trays for 4 to 6 primary packages. Thanks to gentle yet highly dynamic robotics, maximum flexibility is achieved with optimal product protection.
