Proco Machinery Launches a Next-Generation Case Packer with a Collaborative Robot Automation System
Proco Machinery Inc., a manufacturer of automation systems for the blow molding industry, has unveiled the next generation of its Pakman case packer, which is integrated with Yaskawa Motomon HC10 and HC20 collaborative robots, intending for greater efficiency and automation for blow molded bottle manufacturing lines. According to Proco, these systems efficiently handle blow molded containers and can deliver a major cost reduction versus conventional automation. This latest iteration works interactively with co-workers and reportedly requires minimal training for teaching new tasks.
“These systems are being designed in such a way that they complement the production line and provide simplified operation, a smaller footprint and enhanced efficiencies,” says Siva Krish, vice president of sales for Proco Machinery. “These collaborative robotic systems reduce the handling of the container and provide an excellent return on investment.”
