High-Speed Robots for Thermoforming, Packaging
Servo-driven robots can fit new or existing thermoformers and be configurerd to stack parts off the side or at the end of the line.
Ranger Automation’s new TR Series Robots increase productivity and save labor on thermoforming lines and other packaging applications. Ultra high-speed servo drives allow part extraction and stacking at cycle times as fast as 3 sec. The controls feature convenient templates to create stacking patterns for organized product flow, which can eliminate two-thirds of the labor requirements on the line. The TR Robots can fit any new or existing thermoformer, with configurations available to stack parts off the side or at the end of the line, or with the Downstacker option, to stack directly under the line onto indexing conveyors.
