Robotic Bagging Machines are among the machine systems that have transformed secondary packaging automation. These advanced solutions streamline the process of loading pouches, bottles, and shrink packs into cases or cartons with unmatched precision and speed. Equipped with SCARA or six axes robots, high speed Bagging Machines integrate seamlessly into production lines, ensuring efficiency and consistency in packaging operations.

Robotic Bagging Machines automation is a combination of robots and robotic grippers with control systems, conveyors, turn tables, carton guides, and related equipment. The holistic system seamlessly handles a wide variety of products with minimal human intervention, reducing labour costs and enhancing throughput. All this while maintaining product integrity and packaging quality. Whether dealing with delicate items or heavy-duty products, robotic Bagging Machines offers a versatile solution that can be tailored to meet specific production needs.

Following solutions related to bagging machines automation are on offer by Cybernetik:

• Bagging Machine for Pouches handles the packaging of single or multiple pouches at a time into cartons. Its versatile vacuum gripper can deal with pouches of different types. Advanced versions come equipped with vision systems for better accuracy, metal detector and broken pouch detectors for quality control, pneumatic rams for packaging integrity, and multiple robots for high productivity.
• Bagging Machine for Bottles loads bottles in various matrix formations into cases. A system for detecting missing bottles helps with quality control. The system is geared for rapid and accurate operations via carton guide funnels and quick changeover features.
• Bagging Machine for Shrink Packs can deal with multiple shrink packs simultaneously, thereby operating as a high speed case packer. Here again, carton guide funnels enable precision.

An automatic tool changer allows the same system to change over from operating as a case packer for bottles to a case packer for shrink packs. This saves valuable resources in terms of funds and workshop floor space. A similar tool changer enables the case packer for pouches to handle product variants.

Manufacturers pay close attention to secondary packaging as it is the most visible part of the overall packaging – the one that end users first come across. Then again, the demand for faster and more reliable packaging solutions is on the rise. Viewed from this perspective, investment into secondary packaging automation is a strategic move.
