Abar Automation Robot Case Loader

• Automated loading of primary packaged products into secondary cases or trays.
• Handling of flexible pouches, cartons, flow-wraps, and other packaged goods.
• Integration into end-of-line packaging systems for increased efficiency.
• Suitable for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods industries.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by robotic arm and gripper configuration, typically ranging from 20 to 120 picks per minute.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with control voltage typically 24V DC.

Air supply

Often requires a clean, dry air supply at 6-8 bar for pneumatic grippers and actuators.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint can vary from 2m x 2m to larger cells depending on the robot reach and infeed/outfeed conveyors.

Case types

Typically handles regular slotted containers (RSC), wrap-around cases, and trays.

Product handling

Capable of handling a variety of product shapes and sizes, often requiring custom-designed end-of-arm tooling.

• What kind of products can this robot case loader handle?

  Robot case loaders are versatile and can handle a wide range of products, including bags, pouches, cartons, and trays. The specific product type depends on the robotic arm's capabilities and the end-of-arm tooling installed.

• Is this unit suitable for my existing production line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used robot case loader?

• Can the robotic arm be reprogrammed for different case patterns?

• What safety features are commonly found on these units?

Case packers are valued for their ability to automate repetitive boxing tasks, improving throughput and consistency across food production lines. Buyers typically prioritize machines in good mechanical condition, with accessible spare parts availability and clear maintenance histories. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Key considerations when purchasing used units include verifying operational status, checking for wear on conveyor systems and gripper mechanisms, and confirming compatibility with existing line specifications. Reliable case packers offer significant labour cost savings and production efficiency gains.
