Cutting-Edge Packaging Automation: Cobot Case Erectors with Water Activated Tape Sealing

More businesses turn to packaging automation, like palletizerscase erectors, and case packers, to solve manufacturing challenges. These machines keep manufacturers competitive by lowering costs and manpower dedicated to end-of-line operations. Doosan Robotics Americas, a leading innovator in collaborative robotics and packaging automation solutions, has developed cobot case erectors that address manufacturer concerns. These systems minimize disruptive downtime during changeover, eliminate labor uncertainties, and improve efficiency, flexibility, and reliability. Featuring a collaborative robot (cobot) and application-specific sealing methods like water-activated tape, ONExia’s cobot case erectors solve pain points in end-of-line automation for businesses of all sizes. 

The Power of Collaborative Robots in Packaging Automation 

Engineered to work alongside humans, collaborative robots optimize existing packaging lines in limited floor spaces. ONExia cobot case erectors use a collaborative robot to keep the system compact without the need for any safety caging or guarding. Cobot case erectors handle the repetitive task of box forming, streamlining the packaging processes by improving speed and consistency while reducing labor costs. 

ONExia cobot case erectors utilize the UR5e, a versatile and high-precision collaborative robot from Universal Robots. The cobot speeds up processes, improves consistency, and cuts labor costs. Paired with custom end-of-arm tooling, the system forms boxes quickly and accurately, ensuring consistent quality with every cycle. 

Collaborative robot used in cobot case erectors
  • Optimize space: compact design without the required industrial safety equipment 
  • Improve safety: operate collaboratively alongside workers 
  • Easy integration: stand-alone work cell or connect to existing lines 
  • Flexible performance: handle a variety of box sizes 
  • Increased cost savings: reduce labor costs, minimize errors, and increase throughput

Flexible and Efficient Cobot Case Erectors for Changing Production Demands 

Designed for quick changeovers, ONExia cobot case erectors from Doosan Robotics Americas easily adjust to form multiple box sizes. With multiple points of adjustability, operators can perform tool-less changeovers quickly. Simply set new dimensions, and the system is ready to form new case sizes in a matter of minutes without extensive downtime or advanced technical knowledge. 

This flexibility makes cobot case erectors perfect for businesses that need to quickly pivot between different box sizes. The case erector’s versatility benefits industries where product sizes and packaging needs frequently change, such as in e-commerce, retail, and manufacturing. 

Water Activated Tape Dispenser for Packaging

Box taped by robotic machine for manufacturers

An additional feature of Doosan Robotics Americas’ ONExia cobot case erectors is the integrated McDonald Co. Phoenix water-activated tape sealer. Water-activated tape (WAT) provides a stronger, more secure bond that holds up even in demanding shipping conditions. A built-in bottom sealer secures each box without manual labor or any additional equipment. 

Doosan designs each cobot case erector to meet the application’s production specifications. Regardless of whether sealing with clear packing tape or water-activated tape, Doosan Robotics Americas cobot case erectors improve repeatability and boost production efficiency in packaging lines.
