KO-PILER

Don't say, ‘another cobot palletiser’ when talking about our Ko-piler. Our Ko-piler is a standard concept, but is fully adapted to the needs of your application.

Here are some of its features:

There are various possible layouts and concepts.
We have a telescopic vertical axis, servo-driven vertical axis or no extra axis, depending on the stacking height and types of pallets.
We use different cobots, depending on weights, heights, etc.
For stacking on both EURO and INDU pallets
For products up to 32 kg
Stacking heights up to 2400 mm
Limited footprint
Open installation with full accessibility for the operator, subject to the possible use of safety scanners.
Frame available in stainless steel or painted steel.
Moves up to 7 products per minute (if picked up individually)
Multiple products can be picked up simultaneously
Customised gripper(s)
With or without flat sheet station
Can process boxes from two different lines and place them on two separate pallets
Can be adapted to your needs
… The possibilities are endless!

Points that we would like to discuss with you.

Which product do you want to stack?
What are the minimum and maximum size limits of your products?
What is the maximum weight of your product?
What are the dimensions of the pallet you are stacking on?
What is the maximum stacking height (pallet incl.)?
What is the desired speed?
Is there a restriction in place?
Do you have a powered supply of the products?
Are flat sheets used? If so, which ones (hard cardboard, paper, plastic, etc.)?
Should the frame be made of painted steel or does it have to be stainless steel?
Are there any other special requirements?

K-ASEPACKER

The K-asepacker, our first development. It was born from the need to place bags of ice cubes into a box at a rate of one bag every two seconds, all within the smallest possible footprint.

Our K-asepacker has an aluminum frame and is mounted on wheels for flexibility. The infeed conveyor can be adjusted to meet your needs. This is a standard carpet conveyor, which the bags land on after being fed.

We then push the bags onto flaps using a servo-driven pusher. The number of products required per layer is then pushed onto these flaps together. Once the desired number is reached, the flaps rotate 120° at a controlled speed, allowing the bags to fall into the box in an orderly manner.

The box has now been delivered via a second conveyor belt and is positioned under the flaps.

During filling, the box can be vibrated to improve its filling capacity. Once the desired number of layers is in place, the box continues to move and can be pushed down if necessary, and it also runs over concentric rollers, again to optimize the box's filling capacity and ensure it closes properly.

If desired, a Ko-piler can now place the products directly on the pallet.

KO-BONDER

The Ko-bonder is an extension of the standard banding machine from ATS, for example.

However, instead of an operator having to push the packages through the machines, that part is now automated.

The machine consists of a frame constructed of aluminum profiles and plexiglass doors. An infeed conveyor transports the products into the cell. A second conveyor then transports the products to the banding machine.

Once detected, our servo-controlled XZ pusher pushes it through the banding machine. Sometimes in 2 steps, so that 2 bands can be applied.

KO-BOTTABLE

The simplest of our “standard” machines.

Do you need to perform some simple tasks in your lab? Then the Ko-bot table might be just what you need.

A cobot stands in the center of the table, with four quadrants where it can work. Flexible work surfaces can be placed on these four quadrants, adapted to the application.

You can create the simple programs yourself or we can help you. All you have to do is choose the right one.

Would you prefer a specific machine for your lab application? That's certainly possible too!

KO-LOADER

With the Ko-loader too, we speak of a concept rather than a standard machine.

We put together a frame, a warehouse where necessary, a cobot (or robot), a gripper and a control system tailored to your application.

We have already done the following things according to this concept:

Loading and unloading a laser engraving machine
Loading and unloading a CNC machine (Haco FAT and DMG)
Loading and unloading a Crippa bending machine
Loading and unloading a tensile testing machine
Loading and unloading a measuring bench

KO-GLUER

Again, it is not possible to speak of a standard machine in the case of the Ko-gluer.

Applying glue or other liquid products is always different. Where should the glue be applied? Is pretreatment necessary? What else does the operator need to do? Does he or she need to assemble something in the meantime, or is it a standalone process?

With our years of experience in the adhesive industry and the application of these products, we can help you professionalize the process and optimize quality from the very beginning.

CARDBOARDPLACER

Removing a beer bottle from a cardboard sleeve that holds 4 to 6 bottles together is not always easy. You can probably imagine that pushing the cardboard sleeves onto the bottles is not an easy task either. This is where the Cardboard Placer comes in. The crates of beer must be placed on a conveyor belt and the cartons can be applied to the crate manually or automatically. The crates then enter the machine, where they are stopped one by one and a pneumatically controlled mould pushes the cartons onto the bottles. Once the cartons have been pushed on, the crate exits the cell, ready for palletisation.
