ADVANTAGES OF IWK COBOT SYSTEMS • HIGH COST-EFFICIENCY • RAPID AMORTIZATION • INTERRUPTION-FREE PRODUCTION • GREATER OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY • BETTER HANDLING • FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION

Collaborative robots fundamentally change the options available for production processes. IWK is making waves in the packaging industry by including this technology in depalletizing and tube infeed systems. Equipping new packing lines with CoBot systems opens up an array of attractive possibilities. It greatly increases the cost-efficiency of the equipment overall through automatic supply to the filling line, while also making processes for handling empty tubes much simpler. In addition, retrofitting in installed equipment is not only possible but also straightforward. Depending on...

FULL AUTONOMY FOR YOUR TUBE FILLING SYSTEM CoBot-supported IWK DPC depalletizing system The collaborative depalletizing system from IWK is unique in the industry and offers full equipment autonomy. The robot arm with pneumatic grip arms is able to access up to two pallet spaces, therefore ensuring that the tube filling line has uninterrupted supply. This significantly extends the cycle times for subsequent pallet deliveries. The CoBot device corresponds to current Global safety norms, and can be used immediately without any additional safety and monitoring systems. CoBot depalletizers...

Patented Shipping Box Handling IWK has developed a unique, patent-pending approximation solution to enable the pneumatic removal of individual shipping boxes from pallets. In this process, the shipping box is firstly lightly withdrawn from the group, before it is lifted by the second grip arm and precisely placed on the servo-driven transport conveyor of the tube infeed. The robot arm removes and disposes of the shipping box lid before the empty tubes are moved on in the direction of the transport conveyor. The grip arms can be adjusted to all standard shipping box formats. High...

After transferring the empty tube shipping boxes onto the transport conveyor, the empty tubes are conveyed to the removal area, while lateral guide strips ensure precise positioning. Mandrels dip into the rows of tubes, remove the row, and - in such a way that protects the materials - gently place it on the tube machine conveyor of the tube filling and sealing machine. Occupational Safety The protected zone around the moving robot arm is monitored by laser sensors. If a person reaches into or enters this area, the movement of the CoBot arm is immediately slowed, in order to prevent a...

Working Safely The protected zone around the tube infeed is monitored by highly sensitive safety laser scanners. Up to four scanners register any breaches and reliably ensure protection against accidents; this satisfies the strict guidelines of the Global safety norms among other regulations.
