We present at Hispack 2022 our new DELTRAK robotic positioner. Relying on the more than 25 years of experience of our own supplier of vision systems and Delta robots for robotic picking lines and adding our experience in handling plastic containers, we have created this new solution for positioning PET and PP bottles. with or without serigraphy or labels for markets such as cosmetics or pharmacy.
The DELTRAK unscrambler consists of 4 clearly identified steps/phases:
Warehouse and container feeding
Pre-positioning of containers
Vision and collection of the container, "Pick"
Delivery of the container to the exit conveyor, “Place”
The containers are stored in bulk and are dosed on the pre-positioning conveyor. This delivers them to the PICK conveyor longitudinally.
Depending on the required production (bph) of the line, we can have 1, 2 or 3 robots. Each robot has its independent vision system. The robot picks up the container by means of a vacuum gripper and it delivers it to the PLACE conveyor or output conveyor, which is equipped with suction to ensure that the containers are always controlled. If it is an asymmetric container that requires orientation, we add our OL-180 Orientator for blades or belts, depending on the speed, that is, the same solution that we have for ROTRAK unscramblers.
Why a pre-position system?
The system consists of a first phase of container storage and pre-positioning to minimize movements (maximize the use of the robot).
