Automatic top cap former

An automatic top cap forming system from ESS Technologies fully automates the creation of retail-ready display pallets and pallets that require top caps between layers for additional stability.

Sep 7, 2010
An integrated FANUC M-20iA robot provides the picking and placement of top cap blanks into the ESS forming system that folds and glues pallet top caps. The top cap former can be co-located with the ESS Robotic Pallet Cell, which also includes a FANUC robot. Allen Bradley ControlNet networking controls the timing of the system.
