Special purpose robots

Following the success of our first Zecchetti Robot installation at Amcor’s Wrexham factory in 2004, we received a second contract.

In 2004 and in 2005, we successfully carried out the installation of special purpose robots at Amcor’s factory in Wrexham, UK.  The very versatile robotic system installed receives freshly blown PET bottles, directly from the blow moulder, collates them into rows and then picks and places them onto a waiting pallet, 2 rows at a time.  There they are stabilised before tier sheets, trays and top frames are applied automatically by the same robot.  Once the pallet is complete it is automatically transferred to a strapper and then onto a shuttle to the centralized shrink wrapping station.  All this is done completely automatically with no labour involvement and is available 24 hours a day.
