AFA Systems Introduces New Case Transporting System

It?features a case transporting system that the company says has never been seen before in the case packing industry.

The?TR-QCP?does not require lugs and chains to complete the case erection, loading, gluing and sealing process. A gantry robot is used to pick and erect the case. The gantry robot then transfers the case through the loading, sealing and discharge station.

Through this process, the case is secured by the gantry robot's end effector. This feature eliminates the typical lug and chain arrangement on the case transporting system seen on most case packing applications. In addition, end users can enjoy many benefits including reduction of machinery components (e.g. chains, motors, etc), fully automatic changeover and simpler maintenance.

In addition, the?TR-QCP?provides fast, accurate, and repeatable changeover. The entire machine can be changed over in less than two minutes. The ergonomic Flat Stack Magazine?requires no adjustments when changing over case sizes. Operators simply place the case stack on the magazine and the?TR-QCP?automatically does the rest.

The?TR-QCP?can run either tape or glue style cases as well as wrap around cases. Allen Bradley Servo Motors and PLC control system are standard.
