Integrated Robotics and Custom End-of-Arm-Tooling Provide Solutions for Automated Machine Loading Printer Friendly Version Product Information White Paper: 11 Ways to Increase OEE and Productivity by Automating Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Production Lines Application Note: Applications for Robotic Infeeds 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.	Monoblock Fillers/Cappers Case Packers TaskMate Robotic Systems Medical Device Assembly Systems Pallet Cells OEM Equipment Custom Designed Equipment System Integration Turnkey Services Machine Videos Application Notes
Quick release connections allow the robotic end effecter 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.
