Equipment for Labeling Glass Bottles

Industry: Food & Beverage Packaging & Labeling
Process: Labeling

A small and thin type Robo Cylinder® and a MEC controller have been adopted for labeling glass bottles for beverages.

When the bottle is placed on top of rollers, the rollers rotate in sync with the feeding of the label.

As the label is fed, it is transferred from the paper onto the bottle. The label is fixed by pressing down on it with Robo Cylinder®.

An Air cylinder was considered, but the equipment was motorized so that it could be used in places without compressed air.

Robo Cylinder® can use the same input/output circuit as an air cylinder, and as construction without a PLC was possible, the equipment was produced at a low price.

Plastic Parts Assembly Line

Industry: Others
Process: Press-fitting
Actuators: RCP2-SS8C , RCP4-RA5C

By replacing the parts setting process from air cylinders to electric actuators, “Choco Tei”* has stopped occuring!

* “Choco Tei” is a brief interruption of the line.

[Issues Until Now]

The movement and the hoisting for placing plastic parts into the cases were done with air cylinders.

Parts were falling due to the impact from the air cylinder abrupt movement stops. (30 minutes/day)

[Improvement Details]

The air cylinder for movement and hoisting parts was replaced with ROBO® Cylinders.

[Improvement Effects]

Parts stopped falling and eliminated “Choco Tei”*.

Deburring/Inspection Composite Equipment

Industry: Automobile / Mechanical parts
Process: Inspection, Deburring
Actuators: ISCA4 | Controller: XSEL

The multi-slider type orthogonal robot of the NS series has been adopted as equipment to remove burrs from machine parts.

One of the two Y-axes is used to deburr the parts, and the other with a camera attached is used to check if the deburring was successful.

By simultaneously processing and inspecting parts, it was possible to make the line compact.

In addition, it is possible to reduce labor expenses and stabilize quality by automating the tasks that had been done manually.
