Robots in packaging are increasingly common these days, and PACK EXPO Las Vegas had plenty of robotics to dazzle attendees.

Here are a few examples.

A very cool end effector operating at the end of a Fanuc robot was the star of the show at the Simplimatic booth. It’s designed to mechanically grip and lift either heavy cases or light cases without causing damage to the contents inside the light cases. Crucial is the use of two Fanuc servomotors that open and close the gripping devices. These motors rely on force-sensing technology to look for feedback to know how much pressure they can exert so as not to crush the contents inside the case.

Meanwhile, at Graphic Packaging International, Inc. on display was a custom-designed robotic neck-tag applicator at PACK EXPO Las Vegas that utilizes the newly released Yaskawa Motoman GP8 robot on the YRC controller, the fastest robot in its class. The robot applied cone-shaped paperboard neck tags over juice bottles in single file. Brand owners see these four-sided, cone-shaped neck tags as uniquely suitable for bottles because they provide a unique billboard to capture the consumer’s attention in:

• Kicking off a promotion.

• Launching a new product.

• Enhancing brand identity.
