An automated case-packing solution which offers previously unseen speeds is the central focus of Quin Systems' stand at this year's PPMA Show.

Drawing on its extensive experience in control and automation, Quin analysed the production line inside out and identified a significant bottleneck at the case packing stage where, up until now, slow manual intervention was the only way of packing multi-layer boxes.

The Quin Casepacker is based on Quin's unique and innovative RTheta™ product handling technology; specifically developed to provide exceptional levels of performance even in the most demanding applications while avoiding the cost and complexity associated with robot-based solutions.

Typically capable of 70 picks per minute with loads of up to 2kg, the system is scaleable to match the range of movements needed for individual applications. It is easy to integrate with other production line equipment and, thanks to a simple graphical interface, its operation can be easily modified and fine-tuned by the user.

Throughout the PPMA show, Quin personnel will be available on the stand to demonstrate the significant benefits that the solution brings to the end of line, including the considerable cost savings and productivity gains to be made in specific applications.

To further illustrate the versatility of RTheta™, Quin is also featuring on its stand a conveyor feeder built around RTheta™ technology. This system shows how products can be picked up and accurately placed in conveyor pockets at rates of up to 100 picks per minute, eliminating the need for costly labour-intensive manual packaging solutions.
