A munitions manufacturer needed to optimise its process for filling an annealing furnace with cartridge cases. Once deep-drawn, the cases had previously been laboriously poured into the 3 m high separating unit for the furnace by hand. A conveyor system was now required that could automatically and…
mk and Automations Robotic realise fully automated inspection system for the pharmaceutical industry,
In a food manufacturer's packaging line, individual boxes are packed in outer boxes and labelled. Once the boxes are sealed, they must be transferred to automatic palletising. In order to be transferred, the boxes have to be elevated to a height of approx. 3.5 m.
Round battery cells are fed into the assembly process for the production of battery packs and must be transported position-oriented to another level. The goods to be transported should flow smoothly, i.e. should be transported without a pallet, with maximum throughput and high process reliability.
Task
Cardboard slip sheets must be removed from a depalletising machine. The slip sheets are both stacked on the conveyor and removed on the discharge end manually. During this process, they must be conveyed to a height of approx. 1,600 mm. The conveyor must be indexing and run in three-shift…
Problem definition
During the production of chocolate bars, the bars are to be transported from the packaging machine to a downstream conveyor. There is only very limited space available. A height difference of around 480 mm and a 90° curve must be circumnavigated. During the vertical ascent, the…
Problem definition
An automated transport system is used in a laboratory environment to transport drawers to various positions in a cabinet incubator as well as to a position for manual loading and unloading. There is also an option for a visual assessment (qualitative assessment of the objects). A…
Multiple machining stations needed to be interlinked for the production of electric motors for an electric sport utility vehicle. The stations needed to be interlinked across multiple levels. Lifts for lifting, lowering and turning are used to transport the pallets to the various…
Problem definition
Two machines in a pipe machining process need to be interlinked. Trimmed pipe pieces need to be transported to the next machine where they can be stamped. The pipe pieces are oily and have sharp edges. The interlink system must open to allow vehicles and transport boxes to pass…
Two machining stations in a production process for cast parts need to be interlinked. The upstream and downstream machines have different cycle times. The interlink needs to restore the system’s autonomy. Two different types are produced on the line simultaneously. They are…
