Macron Dynamics, Inc. Belt-Driven Actuators Carry 80lb Labeling Machine in High Speed Packaging Application Application: High Speed Label Applicator Industry: Packaging Automation & Material Handling Problem: A client in the packaging and material handling industry required a stable, secure multi-axis system that was capable of carrying an 80lb. labeling machine with vertical and horizontal movement, while matching carton speed and position to apply labels to packages of varying sizes travelling on a pass through conveyor. Solution: To provide the client with XY movement, Macron Dynamics supplied the bulk mailing company with a system composed of three MSA-135 belt-driven actuators, capable of horizontal or vertical motion. The result was a multi-axis linear system adjustable to different heights and widths to apply labels to a steady stream of various sized, randomly oriented packages. The system provides agile movement at 80″ per second to successfully label each individual, different sized package passing at a rate of up to 1 per second. System benefits: The heavy duty construction of the linear actuators provided a system stable enough to hold the 80lb. labeler while withstanding high speed movement. A zero backlash belt to pulley design provides a smooth, fluid movement to successfully apply labels to a constant stream of individually sized packages. https://lnkd.in/e8vhbPfz #positioningstage #mechatronics #macrondynamics

Have you ever wondered how your keys were made? 🤔 🔑   In today’s featured application, a precise sequence of actions is executed as key blanks are transported to be picked up by a robot arm. The fast-paced system is supported by an IR backlight highlighting the shape of the key blanks to aid subsequent processing.   Click the links to read more about the process on our website:   🇬🇧 - https://lnkd.in/eEB_5HV7 🇫🇷 - https://lnkd.in/eRD8KPzh   #machinevision #manufacturing #manufacturingautomation

At Century Automation, our understanding of manufacturing processes allows us to design and build automated work­cells for a variety of applications and industries. In this video, we built a Single Cycle Bonding Station that involves a process where heavy truck components, measuring approximately 5-ft x 7-ft in size, are placed in a glue/bond apply station. Here, a robot moves along a shuttle, applying adhesive to various stations. Next, the operator manually loads the components on the front half of the cell, along with six components on the opposite side. The side with six components then pivots upwards and merges with the stationary side containing three components. This initiates the cycle, during which cylinders are activated to apply pressure and complete the bonding process. This is just one example of our capabilities.

D:PLOY is a powerful tool from OnRobot which enables deployment and redeployment of CNC Machine Tending applications remotely. The D:PLOY tool automatically discovers the hardware and gives an overview of the components required for CNC Machining. Cell setup is completed by defining the operations and the required signals to control. The workspace is defined and the tool detects the motions required for the judicious movement of the robot, with the Expert Mode adding extra control. D:PLOY controls program logic, signal exchange, event handling and robot movement, even from remote location. The tool also performs application monitoring to improve productivity and minimizes by displaying real-time metrics. In addition it helps to reduce deployment time by eliminating operator intervention. To know more: https://zurl.co/K5Yc #OnRobot #CNC_MachineTending #DPLOY #MELSS

What do you do when an auto labeler isn't flexible enough for your manufacturing line❓ You add a collaborative robot and some ingenious end-of-arm-tooling like the one here from Systemation. This cobot-based solution isn't limited to one type or size of product. Instead, it: ✅Can handle both round and square products. ✅Can handle small to large packages (ranging from 2.5 to 30 liters) ✅Allows for the labels to be precisely aligned on the product. Auto labelers are the way to go for most high-volume production lines, but when you need something more flexible, now you'll have another tool in the toolbox. #collaborativerobots #manufacturing #engineering
