For our client, a leading aerosol manufacturer from Denmark, we delivered an advanced Pick & Place Cap Inserter with a capacity of up to 50 units per minute. This project was a response to specific challenges related to the quality of the caps delivered to the client.
The client approached us requesting an automated system for placing caps on aerosol cans. The problem involved deformed caps supplied by manufacturers, which lost their regular shape due to being packed too quickly after the injection molding process. For conventional inserters, like those used by the client, consistent cap shape is critical for smooth production. Due to deformation, the caps often broke during placement, making it impossible to use the existing equipment efficiently.
We understood that solving this problem would require an entirely new approach. Working closely with our design team and mechanics, we developed an innovative cap gripping system that restores the original shape of the caps during placement, allowing seamless application onto cans. This solution consisted of a cap elevator, cap sorter, and a Pick & Place applicator.
Research and Testing:
We began the project by testing samples of caps supplied by the client on conventional indexing and rotary applicators. Although our machines usually handle slightly deformed caps without issue, in this case, the deformation was so significant that we decided to design a completely new device.
During the R&D process, we conducted thorough testing of various grippers and shaping solutions to ensure the machine could work with different types of caps. The final solution we selected proved to be the most effective in delivering high efficiency and reliability when handling various cap formats.
Key Technological Solutions in This Line:
Due to the advanced automation of the process, the system is equipped with numerous sensors that monitor key operating parameters, increasing operator safety and minimizing the risk of malfunctions. The machine complies with all safety standards, including CE marking requirements.
Dzięki wdrożeniu osadzarki typu Pick & Place, Solmatic pomogło klientowi całkowicie wyeliminować problem łamiących się czap podczas procesu osadzania. Wcześniej współczynnik wadliwych czap był dwucyfrowy, co zmuszało klienta do ręcznego osadzania czap przez pracowników, co zwiększało koszty i spowalniało produkcję.
