Marchesini Complete Vial Packaging Line with Fanuc De-Traying Unit Robot, Labeler, Booklet Feeder, Cartoner, Overwrapper, Checkweigher and Case Packer/Palletizer. Capable of speeds up to 100 individual cartons per minute or up to 35 bundles per minute. Single pack format range A=20-250mm, B=12-85mm, H=50-250mm. Collation format range A=50-250mm, B=25-150mm, H=50-250mmA Fanuc model 710 robot is used to automatically load the trays containing unlabeled vials from the infeed pallet. This equipment is located at the beginning of the packaging line. The robot uses tooling consisting of a gripper, a vision camera, a vision light, and two ultrasonic sensors. The camera allows the robot to automatically locate each tray in the stack on the infeed palette thus correcting for stack variability. The trays are then inserted by the robot into the DTU. The DTU (De-Traying Unit) is a custom designed stand-alone machine. It accepts trays from the robot or manually from an operator if the manual guard is installed. Once a tray is slid into the DTU by the robot, the vials are lifted out of the tray vertically by a pneumatic cylinder. An IAI brand electric actuator is used to rake the vials horizontally from the lift plate into the infeed conveyor belt prior to the labeler. Vials are labeled and inspected via a Neri RL500 labeler and Systech TIPS Sentri MX Vision system. Unlabeled vials are introduced to the labeler via the infeed buffer table (indicated by the orange arrow). The labelling machine receives products from the table upstream by means of a feed belt. The infeed screw feeder picks up and spaces the products and sends them onto the carousel, preparing them for the next labelling stage. As the carousel turns, it draws the products with it, making them pass in front of the labelling head peeling plate, which dispenses the labels. The pre-set label end projection facilitates its application, positioning it for the subsequent wrap around and massaging stage by the winder. The slight pressure applied by the wrap around winder to the vial allows it to also massage the label, guaranteeing that it sticks correctly. The vial is then conveyed to the transfer unit consisting of a rotary cylinder connected to a vacuum pump. The holes in the surface of the cylinder allow the system to pick up the labeled vial by means of suction and transfer it in an arc covering approximately one quarter of a turn to the outfeed screw feeder. The outfeed screw feeder unit also incorporates the reject system for products which are not labeled correctly. If an incorrectly labeled product is detected at the checks, a mobile plate expels it to the reject product collection area, preventing it from going to the good product area and then to the buffer outfeed table. The reject system has a pneumatic coupling which keeps it constantly activated. Only if the product is good, the piston stops and the plate does not move. In this way, in the event of check faults, all products are automatically rejected. The product must be rejected if it has not been labeled or if the print unit has not printed correctly. The dynamic print is verified prior to label application by a Systech TIPS Vision System. Pre-folded booklets are introduced to the line via a Marchesini DV715 booklet feeder. Trays of pre-folded booklets are manually loaded into the feeding area and carried via a belt to the buffer unit. The buffer unit has capacity for many booklet trays that allows for considerable machine run time before requiring additional product loading. Trays are then introduced one at a time to a robot located in the tray emptying area. The robot tears through the end of the tray and pushes the booklets onto a feed conveyor where they are introduced individually to the cartoner equipment. Vials are cartoned via a Marchesini MA352 S cartoner. The MA352 is a continuous motion horizontal cartoning machine that inserts one vial, one leaflet and one booklet (if applicable) into a carton. The carton is reverse tuck type; the front flap is in the operator side and closes downwards. Individual cartoned vials are assembled into a bundle via a Marchesini MF910 Mini Overwrapper. The MF910 Mini is an automatic cycle machine that is capable of collating cartons into multiple rows and fully overwrapping these cartons bundle into a six-sided complete wrap encased by a thin plastic film that incorporates a tear tape. This film is then heat-sealed together to make a complete carton bundle. A Garvens checkweigher is located immediately after the overwrapper equipment. The purpose of the checkweigher is to verify the weight of the wrapped 10-pack bundles and check for cartons missing vials. Bundles are packed into shipper cases which are then taped, labeled, weighed and palletized by the Marchesini MCP840 casepacker/palletizer. The MCP840 is an automatic cycle machine which, in essence, inserts bundles into shipper cases and places them on pallet.
