Description
As a FANUC Authorized System Integrator, Kaufman Engineered Systems delivers customized end-of-line automation solutions that maximize production efficiency. This robotic tote depalletizing system automates the recovery and recycling of empty plastic totes for the food packaging industry.
Powered by a FANUC R-2000iC/165F robot and FANUC 3DV vision technology, the system automatically identifies and picks stacked totes from incoming pallets using a custom end-of-arm tool. The robot then orients and places the totes onto a conveyor, where they are singulated and returned to the filling stations for reuse.
Key Benefits:
Intelligent Vision-Guided Picking: FANUC iRVision 3DV accurately locates stacked totes for reliable depalletizing.
Continuous Tote Recycling: Automatically returns empty totes to production, eliminating manual handling and keeping filling lines supplied.
Increased Throughput and Efficiency: Improves material flow, reduces labor requirements, and supports higher production performance with consistent operation.
