Pouchmaster™ XII
Operation of the Pouchmaster™ XII is simple and operator training-need
is minimal. Our custom-software-package accommodates three modes of
operation.
The MANUAL MODE permits the operator to control the cycle with
a foot pedal. The AUTOMATIC MODE provides an adjustable cycle
timer to repeat the cycle automatically. The INTEGRATED MODE
uses vacuum sensors to control the automatic dispensing of the product,
when used in conjunction with automated dispensing systems.
The push button, shut-down mode, signals the Pouchmaster™ XII
to stop picking pouches from the magazine and purges the rotary manipulator.
When the last pouch has been processed, the system automatically stops.
To permit quick and easy changeover from one pouch size to another,
the customized vacuum plates can be designed to accommodate multiple
pouch sizes. This custom design allows the plates to be permanently
mounted to the manipulator and remote arm.
The modularly designed Pouchmaster™ XII is lightweight and mounted
on castor-rollers, making it easy to move to any location in the production
line.

The Pouchmaster™ XII is the heart of
our robotic work cells. From the design of its electrical and pneumatic
circuitry to the simplicity of operation, the Pouchmaster™ XII has
been built with the user in mind. This four-station-system is designed
to open barrier material, premade pouches and bags of all types and sizes;
including Tyvek and foils. It can accommodate widths up to twelve inches,
or multiples thereof. The rotary manipulator is a cam-driven device that
moves four, custom-designed, vacuum plates around its axis. Strategically
positioned suction cups pick-up pouches from a preloaded magazine and
rotate them to the appropriate work station. There, a modular, remote
arm, fitted with another vacuum plate, opens the pouch. Product is deposited
and the cycle repeats, automatically.
