Syntegon Adds Sigpack TTMD Cartoner with Integrated Delta Robots
Syntegon has expanded its secondary packaging portfolio with the Sigpack TTMD, which combines core technologies of the TTM platform with one or more seamlessly integrated Delta robot cells — hence the D in the product name. The robotic solution's camera-based vision control system detects products on the infeed belt. The delta robots pick single or multiple products arriving in random order and reliably place them in cartons, trays or other containers according to specifications. To enable additional packaging flexibility, the new topload cartoner can also simultaneously pack different products from several infeed processes. The Sigpack TTMD uses the tool-less format changeover concept from the TTM platform, enabling a vertical restart after each format change.
Each cartoning machine can be equipped with one or more Delta robot cells. A camera-based vision system detects the position of the individual products on the infeed belt. The pick rate of the delta robots depends much on the product. Typically it’s between 60 and 90 products per minute, and can go up to as many as 120 products per minute.
