Tray handling for thermoforming machines

JAC Automation & Robotik GmbH Kuka; Fanuc; Illig

Robotic tray handling for deep-drawing systems – automated up to 120 cycles/hour

JAC Automation & Robotics offers an automated handling solution for plastic trays that can be integrated into existing or new production facilities.
The system takes over the automated handling of trays between the individual process steps, thereby significantly reducing the manual effort in production.
The images shown are from an existing reference system that is currently in production. The system offered will be newly designed and built specifically for your application.
Functionality:
• KUKA industrial robots
• product-specific gripper system
• infeed and outfeed conveyor technology
Gjdpfoz D H H Tjx Am Sjuh
• automatic tray pick-up and placement
• centering and positioning devices
• control cabinet and system control
• Siemens HMI for operation and recipe management
• protective fencing and safety technology
Depending on the product, different handling concepts can be implemented with clamping or suction grippers. The system can be flexibly adjusted to different tray variants via a recipe and parameter management system.

Performance data:
• Tray sizes: approx. 400 x 300 mm to 800 x 600 mm
• Performance: up to approx. 120 cycles per hour
• different tray heights and product variants possible
• automatic product changeover via recipe management
• manual and automatic system operation
• individual adaptation to existing production facilities

The specified performance applies without pad printing and depends on the product, gripper concept, travel paths, and system layout.
Optional extensions:
• automatic stamping system
• pad printing system
• automatic deburring
• turning device for trays
• additional conveyor technology
• buffer and stacking locations
• additional inspection and processing stations

The existing reference system combines robotic handling, conveyor technology, stamping, pad printing, and a separate deburring station, among other things.

Operation and control:
Different products and recipes can be managed via the central Siemens HMI. Product-dependent parameters and position corrections can be set directly via the user interface.
The control system offers, among other things:
• recipe management
• automatic and manual operation
• adjustable product parameters
• offset corrections
• system and robot diagnostics
• error and message history
• user management
• maintenance overview

Advantages:
• reduction of manual handling operations
• reduced personnel costs
• reproducible process sequences
• reduced risk of handling errors
• consistent production quality
• more ergonomic workplaces
• flexible processing of different tray formats
• easy expandability with additional process steps
• integration into existing production lines

Important note:
The system offered is not the reference system shown in the pictures.
Each system is newly designed and manufactured according to the customer-specific requirements, the existing machines and the products to be processed.

Price: upon request
Upon request, JAC Automation & Robotics will handle the complete implementation, from design and robot programming to control cabinet construction and assembly, to commissioning the system.
