In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.

Quest Robotics will be showcasing a full, collaborative packaging line with fellow ProMach brands Serpa & Texwrap. This line features rigid containers getting packed into trays, overwrapped, and palletized – depicting packaging applications common in the nutraceutical and food industries. Trays will be packed by a Quest QP200-SA2 robotic casepacker, where a FANUC SCARA robot orientates the containers before they’re picked and placed into formed trays by an articulated robot. Filled trays are then overwrapped and sent to a Quest Box Bot QB320 space-saving robotic palletizer to be placed onto a pallet. All of Quest’s robotic systems come with their proprietary pattern building software, which allows for simple and fast product changeovers and easy operation. See all of this and more exciting robotic solutions in booth C-3425 at Pack Expo Las Vegas!

At Pack Expo Las Vegas in Booth C-5406, Piab will be featuring vacuum automation products such as vacuum grippers that can be integrated with robotic arms to automate packaging processes. A diverse line of suction cups that can handle almost any surface and shape of product. Vacuum pumps that are designed for energy efficiency and reliable performance.

piCOBOT L vacuum gripper unit

With its lifting capability of up to 35 lb, the piCOBOT®L is particularly attractive for e-commerce, logistics and warehouse applications as well as for assisting with lifting of heavier items in production. It builds on the same technology platform as the original version, i.e., it consists of a vacuum pump unit and an optional gripper unit. The vacuum pump unit is scalable and can be equipped with a varying number of the newest powerful COAX® cartridge. Offering a significantly higher vacuum performance, it enables fast movement when lifting heavier items for high productivity in packaging and palletizing, part assembly or machine tending.

Patented by Intralox, activated roller belt (ARB) technology keeps products and packages aligned while in motion without the use of rails, reducing the need for human interference or correction and thereby cutting equipment and labor costs.

Using an Intralox belt can be a wise, cost-effective decision in several industries and across various applications. An Intralox sorter with ARB technology, for example, may be especially productive in a facility that handles many packages. Similarly, an Intralox roller belt could be useful for applications that require high conveying speeds.
