Muller Technology Launches Self-Contained COBOT Case Packer for Lids and Containers
Muller Technology, a global supplier of molds and automation solutions for thin-wall packaging, has announced the launch of the industry’s first self-contained collaborative robot (COBOT) case packer for the packing of lid and container packaging. The new automation product, which incorporates an Omron 6-axis cobot, reportedly helps processors bridge a labor shortage gap in the U.S. plastics processing industry, while also delivering versatility, flexibility and productivity. The cobot case packer offers portability, quick part changeover for different size configurations and a return on investment of less than one year.
“In these tough economic times, the cobot case packer helps processors who struggle filling unskilled labor positions while also meeting COVID-19 social distancing requirements,” says Taras Konowal, director of sales and marketing for North America, Muller Technology.
