Lightweight packaging positioning system

Description

A solution enabling the gripping and rotation of empty packaging, the positioning and retention of which is problematic due to its weight (elimination of sliding when gripping), physical parameters and temperature of the product (insensitivity to deformation and scratches) and the influence of electrostatic forces.

Specification

The system can be adapted to possible changes in the shape or size of products on the production line (thanks to a universal gripper that enables vacuum gripping from the inside).

Grabbing containers with suction cups—both from the bottom and from the inside—solves problems related to:

  • a) lightweight containers (difficulty in precisely gripping very light containers)
  • b) movement of electrically charged containers (during grabbing and placing)
  • c) rapid movement of containers gripped in this way
  • d) container deformation during gripping and positioning on the conveyor
  • e) mechanical line setup for positioning containers of a specific size or shape—only one at a time—and quick reconfiguration for another specific packaging size and shape

With the use of Mayeryn AI Vision based on artificial intelligence, the system can not only position containers but also arrange them at equal intervals (or one right after another if required).

System performance is 2,000 positioned packages per hour per robot.

Range of supported "oval" (elliptical base) packaging:

  • a) outer base dimension (major axis) of containers: 80–105 mm (custom sizes available on request)
  • b) outer height dimension of containers: 100–220 mm (custom sizes available on request)

A 3D model of the system is available here: https://mayeryn.autodesk360.com/g/shares/SH30dd5QT870c25f12fc778473733da20d04

Equipment list

List of components on the 3D model below

  • Scanning tunnel (Mayeryn AI's proprietary vision system) determines the current position of containers
  • 4-axis robot, positioning containers based on data collected by the scanning tunnel (1) and processed into a signal for the robot by the Mayeryn AI Vision Server (4)
  • Robot base
  • Second scanning tunnel, re-determining the current position of containers after exiting the leak tester
  • Second 4-axis robot, positioning containers based on data collected by the second scanning tunnel (5) and processed into a signal for the robot by the Mayeryn AI Vision Server (4)
  • Base for the second robot
