TIP W 1600 Robofeed Automatic Ream Counting Feeding for Folio Wrappers

Machine Model for Improvement

All folio-size wrappers, including equipment not made by BW Papersystems

Description of Improvement

The ROBOFEED is a stand-alone fully automatic ream counting and feeding system that can be integrated into any folio ream wrapper. This sophisticated, state-of-the-art robotic solution eliminates the need of operators. However, it still offers the flexibility to run the wrapper in a conventional way, with manual ream infeed by operators, if needed.

Three robots suspended from a structure form the heart of this upgrade. The robot in the middle, equipped with a counting disk, is accurately counting many different grades of products. Two robots on the outside are feeding the reams into the wrapper. This automation increases overall efficiency by eliminating operator fatigue while providing constant, predictable operation.

With this automatic infeed, in a 3-shift operation, up to 4 machine operators are freed up for other tasks. ROBOFEED offers even further automation options. Dual HMI’s allow convenient input of additional parameters into the system already in operation.

With various safety functions, the ROBOFEED ensures safe operation in both fully automatic and conventional mode. To ensure a proper ream feeding position for precise wrapping, the ream and the pallet positions are continuously monitored by a camera system. It provides feedback to the robotic control system and host machine to allow small adjustments as needed for precise feeding position. Size changes at the ROBOFEED are done automatically and extremely fast.

Benefits

  • Accurate counting of sheets with counting disk
  • Automatic feeding of reams into wrapper
  • Increased efficiency & constant performance
  • Significantly reduced manpower due to automation
