January
2008, Blacksburg, VA —ESS Technologies, Inc., an authorized FANUC
system integrator, integrates a FANUC robot with ESS custom-designed
end-of-arm-tooling to create the TaskMate™ Robotic Loading System.
The TaskMate™ is ideal for automating machine loading at the infeed.
The custom end-of-arm-tooling can be designed to handle most any
type of product. This allows the system to robotically load machine
infeeds on thermoform blister packagers, cartoners, wrappers, and
other types of packaging equipment. ESS customers have deployed
robotic loading systems for packaging medical devices,
pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and consumer products. Custom
end-of-arm-tooling can handle a variety of containers, such as
ampoules, syringes, bottles, tubes, etc.
Quick release connections allow the robotic end effector to be
removed or installed in seconds, providing the fastest possible
changeover time. In addition to increasing productivity, the
TaskMate™ Robotic Loaders reduce repetitive motion and cost while
increasing the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of any
packaging line. FANUC robots and the integrated end effectors will
work in a number of environmental settings, including clean room,
process, and packaging. Equipped with a tabletop platform,
interlocked guarding, and optional light curtain, the TaskMate™
Robotic Loader easily integrates with most packaging equipment. All
FANUC robots offer enhanced motion control, speed, vision, and
robotic dexterity, making the robot a key component to the TaskMate™
system. Experienced in system design and robotic integration, ESS
Technologies, Inc. provides packagers with automated solutions to
machine loading.
