Flexibility for Variable Formats and Product Arrangements

An articulated robot is suited to case packing tasks requiring movements beyond a simple linear sequence. Its axes allow it to pick up a product, change its orientation and place it in the case from different angles. This is useful when the line handles:

  • multiple product variants with different dimensions;

  • cases with variable packing configurations;

  • vertical, side or angled loading;

  • products that must be tilted or rotated before placement;

  • frequent format changeovers;

  • multiple pick-up points or destination stations.

Line Integration and Operational Benefits

The articulated configuration suits production environments where packaging types or product arrangements may change over time.

It can load trays, bags, bottles, smaller boxes, multipacks and components into cases. For heavier or more rigid products, cell sizing takes account of payload, inertia, grip strength and environmental conditions.

This adaptability makes articulated robots a useful option for food, ceramics, wood, bitumen and construction materials applications, provided the gripper and guarding are designed for the product being handled.
