Design and application of automatic unpacking and shaping system for robot vertical carton
Aiming at the problems of high labor cost,low efficiency and automation in the process of unpacking and shaping by hand before pre-pressing and packing section of tobacco production line in China,a vertical system of automatic unpacking and shaping collaboration between multi equipment based on robot was designed.The system was mainly composed of a robotic grasping system,a feeding device of inner and outer box,a folding device of inner box cover etc.The characteristics of multi degree of freedom motion control of the robot arm in the task space was used to plan a set of technological process suitable for carton shaping,which met the needs of enterprises for high automatic production line.The corrugated carton package of redried strips were tested,the results showed that the system replaced completely the manual to realize unpacking and shaping automatically.The rated production capacity of the system reached 63 boxes/h,the success rate of carton shaping was over 99%,and the number of operators was reduced from 5 to 1 to manage the daily system maintenance.The automation and efficiency of tobacco production line were improved significantly.
