DUAL FUNCTION CASE ERECTOR AND SURFACE GRIPPER

Automatic Carton Erector

The Anubis 3D Automatic Case Erectors (ACE), also known as carton erectors, convert flat boxes into fully erected, bottom-sealed cases. Traditionally, automatic case erectors are standalone machines designed to handle a specific and limited number of case sizes. Changing, from one box size to another disrupts production due to the time it takes to adjust the equipment. In addition, those machines are designed for high throughput, and with their large footprint, it is harder to integrate them with existing installations. The ACE Tools takes advantage of the flexibility of 6-axis robots and cobots. It is designed with safety, durability, productivity, and efficiency in mind.

A COBOT’S BEST FRIEND

Anubis 3D Automatic Carton Erector (ACE) is designed to meet and exceed the industry Collaborative Robot safety standards. All components are made from composites with no sharp edges, pinch points, or exposed metal. Watch the 1st generation ACE manipulate cartons in a breeze.

ROBOT CARTON ERECTING FUNCTION

Anubis 3D Automatic Carton Erectors (ACE) take advantage of the flexibility of 6-axis robots. It is designed to light weight and collaborative robot friendly with safety, durability, productivity, and efficiency in mind. A typical carton erecting application would include four steps; picking the carton, expanding the carton to an open position, transferring the carton to the taping frame, and moving the carton along the taper.

The ACE folding flap includes suction cups mounted to a carriage to travel along a linear rail providing continuous contact with the picked carton. This engineering feature improves fold accuracy and allows for quicker cycle time as it always maintains control of two sides of the carton.
