Fully Automatic Robotic Packing Workstation
1. System Overview
The Fully Automatic Robotic Packing Workstation is a high-efficiency industrial solution integrating parallel robots, intelligent vision systems, dynamic grabbing technology, and automated logistics modules. It is primarily used for high-speed sorting, precise grabbing, orderly arrangement, and automated boxing operations. Its core advantages lie in high speed (up to 180 times/minute), high precision (repeat positioning accuracy ±0.1mm), and flexible production adaptability, making it widely applicable in electronics, food, pharmaceuticals, light industry, and other fields.
2. Core Component Modules
(1) Parallel Robot Main Body
Structural Design: Employs a multi-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism (such as 3-axis, 4-axis, or 6-axis), with drivers fixed to the frame and lightweight design for driven arms (such as carbon fiber or aluminum alloy). This significantly reduces motion inertia and enhances dynamic response speed.
Motion Control: Based on servo systems and core algorithms to achieve high-speed trajectory planning, supports XYZ axis linkage, with a maximum speed of 180 times/minute and a load capacity of 1-5kg.
(2) Intelligent Vision Positioning System
Function: Real-time identification of material position, shape, and orientation through 2D/3D cameras and sensors. Combined with deep learning algorithms to optimize grabbing paths, it solves the problem of disordered or overlapping materials in traditional sorting.
Accuracy: Visual positioning accuracy reaches ±0.05mm, adapting to the precise identification of transparent, reflective, or irregularly shaped materials.
(3) Dynamic Grabbing and Clamping Device
End-of-Arm Tooling: Configured with vacuum suction cups, flexible grippers, or magnetic grippers based on material characteristics. Supports quick changeover to accommodate different products (such as glass bottles, soft packaging, electronic products).
Stability: Closed-loop control of gripping force to prevent material damage or slippage, adapting to vibration environments under high-speed motion.
(4) Automated Logistics Module
Conveying System: Equipped with synchronous belt or roller conveyor lines to achieve continuous feeding of materials and empty boxes. Supports dynamic sorting of disorderly arranged materials.
Carton Forming and Sealing Unit: Automatically unfolds and positions cartons. After boxing, seals with hot melt adhesive or tape. Integrates weighing detection and label printing functions.
3. Work Flow
Material Identification and Positioning: The vision system scans disordered materials on the conveyor belt, generating three-dimensional coordinate data and transmitting it to the control system.
Path Planning and Grabbing: The robot calculates the optimal path based on real-time data to complete the grabbing action in the shortest time, with an average single cycle time ≤0.3 seconds.
Boxing and Arrangement: Materials are precisely placed into cartons according to preset patterns (such as matrix arrangement, layered stacking), supporting zoned boxing (such as mixed packaging of multiple specification products).
Quality Verification and Feedback: Sensors detect the integrity of boxing. Abnormal situations trigger alarms or automatic rejection mechanisms. Data is synchronously uploaded to the MES system.
4. Technical Features and Advantages
High Speed and Efficiency: Efficiency is increased by more than 4 times compared to manual labor. Single machine daily processing capacity can reach 100,000 pieces (calculated at 180 times/minute).
High Adaptability: Modular design supports rapid changeover, compatible with different carton sizes (100×50×30mm to 600×400×300mm) and diversified products.
Intelligent Control: Integrated Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) interface supports remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, and production data analysis, enabling “lights-out factory” unmanned operation.
Energy Saving and Environmental Protection: Lightweight structure and servo motor drive result in energy consumption only 30% of traditional serial robots.
5. Application Scenarios
Food Industry: High-speed boxing of bottled beverages, pastries, and frozen foods, adapting to low temperature or high humidity environments.
Electronics Manufacturing: Anti-static grabbing and dust-free environment boxing of precision components such as mobile phone components and chips.
Pharmaceutical Field: Flexible sorting and aseptic packaging of medicine blister packs and glass medicine bottles.
