Flexible, efficient, future-proof
Automating packaging processes
with the Schubert Cobot tog.519
Automation is the key to greater efficiency, quality and competitiveness in the packaging industry. With the Cobot tog.519, Schubert offers a smart and scalable solution for a wide range of requirements: from precise gripping and positioning of products to flexible integration into existing packaging lines. The combination of intelligent image processing, mobile usability and simple operation makes the tog.519 the ideal choice for manufacturing companies that want to digitize their processes and make them future-proof.
Whether food, cosmetics, healthcare or industrial products - the Schubert Cobot adapts to your individual requirements and brings more speed, precision and reliability to your production.
Filling boxes and trays
The cobot is ideally suited for quick automation via plug & play when products need to be placed into boxes or trays on a packaging line. The AI-supported vision system recognises both the unsorted products as they are picked up and the environment into which they are to be placed. Formats can be handled extremely flexibly – and this includes the products themselves as well as the boxes and trays. Even entirely new products that the tog.519 sees for the first time can be picked up directly. If the tool doesn’t allow this, it can simply be exchanged. Of course, several robots can also work in parallel in a single line. The number of stations can be adjusted very quickly to seasonal products or short-term production peaks. With its exceptional versatility, the cobot enables extremely agile packing lines.
Loading chains
The cobot can be used to load virtually any type of chain for flexible automated feeding – without the need for further programming. Thanks to fast AI-based image processing, the robot recognises every pitch of the chain, whereby the shape, dimensions and colour of the pitches can vary without any problems. In parallel, the tog.519 picks up the unsorted products to be deposited or directly from the bin. This enables, for example, flowpackers, cartoners, wrapping machines and other systems to be loaded for different tasks. The type of product is virtually irrelevant, because the robot processes food, confectionery, cosmetics or technical articles, among many others, with absolute flexibility. At the same time, the cobot can perform its tasks without having to communicate with the downstream machine.
Setting up packaging materials
The tog.519 can automatically set up not only products, but also the packaging materials themselves. For example, different packaging components such as pucks, jars and bottles can be prepared for a filling process by one cobot and then completed with pumps and lids by another one. Here, too, the AI-supported vision system ensures that the unsorted packaging materials are specifically picked up from the bin or a tray and placed into the desired feeder. It doesn’t matter whether the containers are made of plastic, glass or metal. If required, the intermediate layers between the stacked packaging components can also be removed in this step. Communication with the filling machine is not necessary, but can be implemented if needed – from simple digital signal exchange to integration into the OPC/UA server.
