Need to Move the Bags and Cases in Your Plant Faster?

Thu, 20 May 2010 12:00:00 EST

If you're looking for ways to move your bags and cases in the plant faster, we have a new robot on the block to show you. FANUC Robotics recently announced its newest robot - the M-410iB 140 - with industry leading cycle time for case and bag palletizing applications. The M410iB 140 gives up a little in capacity to its more expensive, bigger brother M410iB 160, but moves faster and with lower power consumption. It can easily handle typical cases and bags weighing 50 to 100 pounds each, and performs exceptionally well for case and bag palletizing, mixed case palletizing, and depalletizing applications with effective load (load plus end-of-arm tooling) less than 140 kg, or 310 pounds. In this weight class, the M410iB 140 is the fastest, most energy conscious robot available on the market - and Motion Controls Robotics Inc. is ready to put one or more of them to work for you.

Stretchwrapper Smarts

Thu, 20 May 2010 12:00:00 EST
