The next generation of Proco Machinery’s Robopik bottle takeout system is distinguished by its use of a jointed-arm collaborative robot (cobot), said to offer greater flexibility and adaptability than older fixed automation. The Robopik, designed for unloading and deflashing containers from shuttle blow molders, can be reconfigured easily to handle different types of products and adapt to changing production requirements, Proco says. The magnetically coupled cobot is said to also unload products faster and with greater accuracy than previous systems. The new system can handle delicate or irregularly shaped containers and minimize the risk of damage or defects.
It also features built-in safety features such as collision detection, emergency stop mechanism and protective barriers. Advanced connectivity enables seamless integration with other “smart factory” (Industry 4.0) technologies.
