An agile automated unguarded collaborative robot cell designed to carry out the dull task of erecting cardboard trays typically used to hold and display pre-packaged foods and household goods on supermarket shelves. For example pizzas, cooked meat snacks, anti-bacterial wipes etc.
The Tray Erector is easily integrated with existing production lines and requires very little effort to move to different locations. It an operator-friendly human-machine interface (HMI). The dual tool feature comprises an inner forming tool and an outer forming tool with pneumatic actuators. The former is mounted onto a 4, 6 or 7 axis robot arm manipulator whilst the latter is fixed. They work in synch to erect the tray in its flat ‘net’ form by lifting the flaps and then folding and locking the tabs.
