Juice

Bottling Operation with Yaskawa MP2600iec

Summary

DMC implemented the lane switching logic on a fruit juice company's bottling and packaging operation.

Solution

The bottling and packaging operation ends with an operation that places fruit juice bottles in parallel lanes, in a square configuration for easy automated boxing.  A photo eye counts bottles as they go through the lane changing chute.  Once the appropriate count of bottles has been placed in a lane, the Sigma-5 drives the lane change chute to the next lane.

The number of lanes used is configurable to allow for different sized boxes.

Customer Benefits

  • Automated process allows increased production throughput and reduced labor costs
  • Configurable number of lanes used allows for switching between different sized boxes
