A manufacturer of paperboard boxes and long-term customer of SDC needed additional machines to perform a box-spotting assembly process. The system performs shaping, folding and forming of specialty boxes to hold jewelry and gift lighters.
Technical Components & Technologies
Mitsubishi SCARA robot
Mitsubishi PLC/HMI control system
Cognex In-Sight 7000 series camera
Cognex Vision View
Pneumatic-suctioned conveyor
The Solution:
SDC developed a “kit” for the group of machines to perform the spotting process. Each kit synchronizes the machines to run as a complete system. This system uses vision-guided robotics to pick-and-place folded boxes.
This kit allowed the manufacturer to optimize their production, decrease downtime, and provide more skilled employment opportunities.
