REVIEW FACHPACK 2018

Clever packaging solutions for complex requirements!

Themed "smart packaging solutions" ASA Automation presented at this year’s Fachpack (25th-27th September) a compact high-speed pick and place application for handling of folding cartons from the food sector as well as our spiral conveyor for space-saving bridging of large height differences within the material flow.

Thanks to FANUC’s new SR-31A robots we were able to present this application in an impressive fashion. Each member of a team of three identical, interactive robots takes on its own key task in the course of product orientation recognition, product orientation, accurately positioned product placement, and the individually controlled sorting out of finished products.

In addition, our 3 meter high Carryline spiral conveyor was the second application to show optimal production processes. This spiral conveyor allows space-saving bridging of large height differences within conveyor systems while maintaining constant, high, transport rates, where the items conveyed may be either individual products, packages, cartons, or even containers. The spiral design is just as reliable and easy to integrate into existing conveyor systems as a conventional straight conveyor. More information on our conveyor system can be found at www.carryline-systems.de
