Automated Bag Handling and Filling System

FANUC Robotics offers two unique robotic solutions for bag placing, filling and palletizing that work day in and day out in environments too harsh for human exposure. These flexible and compact systems are designed to help manufacturers reallocate labor to tasks in less harmful environments, meet aggressive production schedules and save valuable plant floor space.

Bag Placing System

For powder and bulk solids that are contained in bags, we have designed a system for placing valve bags onto bag filler spouts. The system, which can process more than twenty bags per minute, includes a customized bag magazine, a six-axis robot to automatically pick and place empty valve bags onto filler spouts and related process tooling. An automated bag placing system helps companies reduce employee injuries often associated with repetitive motion tasks, maximize throughput and provide the flexibility to adapt to product size or production speed variations.

Bag Placing, Filling and Palletizing System

FANUC Robotics has developed a complete solution to pick, pack and palletize valve bags. A six-axis robot first picks empty bags from a customized bag magazine and places them onto a filler spout. Once bags are filled, the robot, equipped with a multi-functional end-of-arm-tooling, picks full bags from the spout and places them onto pallets. This total solution is capable of processing more than five bags per minute, works continuously in some of the harshest environ-ments, reduces human exposure to potentially harmful dust or fumes and eliminates physical problems associated with back injuries.

Innovative Systems Approach

Our approach is to combine standard products with custom-engineered system components to produce a complete, productive and efficient system. A system you can count on for uptime, accuracy and fast payback.
