Blister Pack Loading
Motion Controls Robotics Inc. automates blister packaging machines to handle blister pack loading using vision to find the product and to descramble. Product can be conveyed or magazine fed for easy loading. The LR Mate, M-430iA or M-1iA robot can load the blister pack at index speeds of 7 to 22 seconds. The robot is mounted overhead and is used to load the blister packs, reducing labor by one to four people depending on the amount of production rate and product features.
