This product's compact footprint machine is capable of load¬ing as many as 400 nutritional bars per minute, with multiple bars per pick into cartons of single or multiple layers. The robot cell incorporates an articulating end-of-arm tool designed to gently yet accurately control the bars during loading. Cartons are accurately indexed into the cell and positioned for loading via servo-driven side belts. Fast and easy product changeover for a wide range of carton sizes and bar lengths is completely tool-less and can be performed in less than five minutes using no change parts.
