FANUC Robotic and Material Handling Case Studies

Utilizing the R&D Lab and Engineers for a Custom Robotics System

A filter manufacturer came to us to see if we could design and build a completely custom solution to successfully automate the case packing process for large volumes of delicate filters at high speeds and with precision to prevent product damage. We engaged our Research and development Engineers, who utilized our R&D lab to develop and build a reliable and consistent solution to meet their throughput and productivity requirements in a high-speed environment.

Automated Palletizing for Multiple Lines

KPal V Palletizer System: Four Separate Lines Converge for End-of-Line Completion

Check out the video and description for this recently completed system consisting of four product lines with independent palletizer cells fitted with four FANUC M-410i C / 185 robots and four independent stretch wrapping cells utilizing Kaufman turntable stretch wrappers. The entire system then employs the use of one transfer car that moves finished unit loads to the material handling line for robotic labeling that ensures loads are correctly double-stacked at the end of the line.

Bulk Palletizing Glass Bottles

KPal V Full Layer Bulk Palletizing System for Glass Bottles

Our customer needed a new system to quickly and efficiently palletize glass bottles while meeting clear-cut requirements for performance and delivery schedule. Kaufman designed and built the system with two FANUC 410i B 140H robots with end-of-arm tools tailored to make one sweep rows of bottles into palletization format and the other move and place dunnage as needed. In addition, the system utilizes a FANUC 410i C 500H robot with an end-of-arm tool specifically designed to palletize the bottles. Find out how Kaufman designed and built this system to meet the customer's specific needs!

High Speed Picking, Packing and Palletizing System for Trays and Cases

A custom robotic system from Kaufman Engineered Systems utilizes a FANUC M-2iA Series Delta robot to orient cans with the assistance of FANUC iR vision and line tracking to be packed into cases and trays.

A FANUC R-1000iA Series robot packs 8, 12, and 24 count cases which are automatically sealed and conveyed to the palletizing cell. A completed palletized load is labeled and verified by a Kaufman Engineered Systems KRL1V Robotic labeler which uses a FANUC LRMate 200iD/7L. After the labeling process, A Kaufman model SXPA-20 automatic stretch wrapper secures the load for shipment.
