Save Valuable Floor Space and Costly Changeover Time
Pearson's RRCE Random Robotic Case Erector reliably forms of up to six case sizes at speeds of up to 10 cases per minute in a single cell. This robotic case erector is flexible enough to accommodate multiple case sizes within a minimal footprint, randomly selecting the right case.
The RRCE eliminates the need for multiple erectors, which saves valuable floor space and costly changeover time. A vacuum end-of-arm tool uses articulated motion to pick and peel open cases, while the sealing station auto-adjusts to the case height and width.
Advanced features such as non-contact interlocks, CAT-3 Safety Circuits and an easily accessible grace port are standard on the cell. And, the cell comes with Pearson's user-friendly HMI and remote access capability. Ergonomic magazines can be reloaded without halting production.
Features
- Random Case Selection: Easily-programmable pick sequence based on priority and quantity selections.
- Miss-Pick Prevention: The knockdown pick-off uses an articulated motion to peel blanks off the magazine reducing required pull force to avoid miss-picks.
- Reliable Opening of Knockdowns: A dual opposed vacuum force reliably opens the knockdown by grasping the case from both sides simultaneously to prepare the case forming.
- Consistently Square Cases: Synchronized dual chain drive transports case through closing and sealing section ensuring completed cases are square as they exit the machine.
- Flexible Addition of Magazines: Up to three dual stacked powered magazines support ergonomic restocking without disrupting production.
- Zero Minute Changeover: Multiple magazines and random picking eliminate the need for changeovers.
- Highly Reliable Non-Contact Interlocks: Eliminates misalignment of guard door interlocks which prevents problems common to keyed interlocks.
- Safety Redundancy with CAT 3: Dual channel safety circuit maintains integrity of safety features in case of single component failure.
- Easily Accessible Grace Port: Grace ports provide convenient communication access and 110V convenience outlet at the outside of the machine’s electrical cabinet.
- Convenient Dual Access to the Machine: A remote operator station enables machine control on both sides of the conveyor.
- Remote Access Capability: Allows Pearson’s support team on-demand access to the equipment's PLC and HMI through a secure VPN connection via an eWON router (ISECOM STAR and ISO27001 certified) to support emergency troubleshooting and reduce on-site visits.
Upgrade Options
- Additional Dekka 23 Soft Touch Tape Head: Tape sensing and tape assist are offered separately.
- Lighted E-Stop: Emergency stop light flashes when the button is depressed and both e-stops are lighted. Light only flashes on the e-stop that is depressed.
- Tape Sensing: Sensors detect fail-to apply, fail-to-cut and low tape situation.
