FANUC America Authorized System Integrator StrongPoint Automation is a market leader in the design, development and manufacture of world-class robotic solutions and conveyor systems.

StrongPoint Automation’s top load Cartoner features four FANUC M-2iA/3SL delta-style robots complete with an integrated FANUC iRVision system.  The system is capable of packaging up to 400 pouches per minute in both horizontal and vertical formats.  The FANUC M-2iA robot’s end of arm tools feature PIAB vacuum generators complete with custom-machined profiles, ensuring product stability throughout the pick and place cycle.  The FANUC iRVision system features a backlight light array and camera filters, ensuring accurate product tracking regardless of packaging finish or graphics. The StrongPoint Automation system features a servo-driven metering system to introduce cartons into the packaging stream.  Interchangeable belt profiles allow for packing of 2x2 horizontal and bulk club formats.  Line balancing ensures that cartons are fully packed prior to cell discharge.
 
When vertical cartoning is required, a matrix of FANUC M-2iA robots is used to sort and orient the pouches for introduction into dual product collators.  Each vertical collator is driven from dual Allen Bradley Stratix Series servo motors to allow for random product instruction and presentation to a FANUC M-20iA robot used for vertical packing.  The FANUC M-20iA robot picks 24 pouches simultaneously and places them into vertical cartons using an integrated line tracking algorithm.  Vertical cartons are erected, packed and sealed prior to discharge from the StrongPoint Automation Cartoner.
