The R-100 Automatic Robotic Stacker by SORSYS revolutionizes the handling of thermoformed products, seamlessly integrating with thermoforming machines to automate the transfer of products onto a conveyor system. This innovative solution is designed to either stack products for further processing or direct them towards a labeling station, enhancing efficiency and flexibility in production lines. Equipped with a six-axis robot and specialized end-of-arm tooling, the R-100 adeptly follows and secures a group of freshly thermoformed parts, still connected to the web, ensuring a smooth transition from formation to conveyor. Utilizing multiple vacuum cups, the system maintains a firm grip on the parts until they reach the stripping point, where they are precisely released from the web and placed onto the conveyor. The parts can then be organized into stacks or aligned in one to three rows, catering to specific production requirements. Critical to the R-100’s operation is the synchronization of the robot’s speed with the thermoforming machine’s output. This is achieved by monitoring the encoder data from the machine’s output roller, providing real-time feedback to the robot for flawless coordination.

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, the SORSYS R-200 stands out as a beacon of innovation and efficiency. This vision-guided robotic feeder system represents a leap forward in the automation of component handling and placement, specifically designed to accommodate small, arrow-shaped steel blades with unmatched accuracy.
