Robotic feeding system for PET parts on a vertical packaging line

YM Packaging has developed an automated feeding and packaging line for technical PET parts, designed for precise product handling and a continuous supply to the packaging machine.

The goal: feeding the packaging machine part by part

The parts had to reach the vertical packaging machine one at a time, with precise handling and a steady rate.

How the line works

1. Feed hopper: discharges the parts onto a conveyor belt.
2. Infeed conveyor: takes the product to a robotic handling cell.
3. Yaskawa robot: inside the cell, a Yaskawa handling robot carries out high-precision pick and place, picking the parts one by one from the infeed conveyor.
4. Bucket conveyor: the robot places the parts in order into a bucket conveyor, which carries them to the packaging machine.
5. Vertical packaging machine: receives the product at a steady rate.

The result: one part at a time, at a steady rate

The system doses and feeds the parts one at a time, ensuring a steady flow of product to the vertical packaging machine.

Equipment on the line

• Feed hopper.
• Infeed conveyor.
• Robotic cell with a Yaskawa handling robot (pick and place).
• Bucket conveyor.
• Vertical packaging machine.
