Universal Robotic Box Cutter -Multiple Boxes

Automated box-opening robot—an encased robot that can automatically detect the size of each carton and find the programmed cut lines—can remove the need for handheld blades in the warehouse and reduce chance of lacerations for employees. (photo courtesy EU Automation)

All electrical equipment must meet US power requirements of 110~120V/60Hz and can provide UL/CE certification, etc.

Robotic equipment can be added to front-of-line processes, too. Depalletizing, loading, line-charging or thermo-forming packaging with an injection-molding machine are all possible options to improve packaging processes. Similarly, labelling, packing, palletizing and wrapping products—tasks that involve strenuous, laborious manual work—can all be achieved by automated systems.

Adding complicated automation to a packaging process is no easy accomplishment. However, it’s clear that that automation offers many benefits. Whether a facility is large or small, there are options to automate and this certainly cannot be overlooked in the packaging industry
