VariCube RBB™

A STANDARD FLEXIBLE BAGGING SOLUTION

RNA’s VariCube RBB™ presents a flexible bagging solution that utilises intelligent vibration platforms, coupled with industrial machine vision recognition and a 6-axis robot to feed and assemble component parts of various shapes and sizes.

Flexible Bagging Machine

VariCube RBB™

Offers flexibility, quick delivery time, reusability and speed.

The VariCube RBB™ is best used in applications where conventional bulk feeding systems find limitations such as fragile or complex parts, multiple variants requiring fast changeover, and evolving component design. Guiding robot with machine vision provides high speed and high precision handling and bagging solutions.

6 STEPS

VariCube RBB™ | RNA FLEXIBLE BAGGING MACHINE

FLEXIBLE, RELIABLE AND STANDARD SOLUTION FOR THE AUTOMATED HANDLING AND BAGGING IN 5 STEPS


STEP 1: Various parts to be bagged are loaded in bulk into hoppers. Parts drop by vibration from hoppers onto flexible feeder platforms on demand.

STEP 2: The flexible feeder complete pre-programmed vibratory cycles to orientate and separate component parts, presenting them to an integrated vision system for robot pick.

STEP 3: The vision system inspects the component parts on the flexible feeder platforms and identifies which are laying in a position suitable for being picked. The coordinates are sent to the robot.

STEP 4: A 6-Axis Robot, with suitable end of arm tooling picks all identified component parts and transfer them to the bagging machine.

STEP 5: Component parts are loaded to the bagging machine via a chute. The bagging machine presents a single opened bag per cycle, before sealing and dropping the bagged parts into a rotating chute which diverts bags into the designated storage box.

HOPPER

FLEXIBLE FEEDER

  • Compatible with all parts geometries
  • Minimum change-over times
  • Extremely gentle part handling
  • Free movement of parts
  • No transmission of vibrations to the rest of the line
  • Systematic part orientation
  • Easy configuration with the feeding software
HOPPER

HOPPER SYSTEM

  • Compatibility: RNA BVL-P hopper systems have been developed to fit the various platform sizes and feeding tasks.
  • Plug and play: our hopper systems come factory-tuned and are easily integrated in the complete concept thanks to the enclosed control system. The discharge height is adapted for part transfer to the downstream FlexCube system.
  • Demand-based feeding: BVL-P hopper systems are designed for optimized part transfer rates to the sorting platform, which are key to achieving short sorting cycle times.
  • Enhanced autonomy: the filling volume is easily adaptable to your needs through the addition of static or upstream hopper units. And of course, communication between these hopper systems can be handled by RNA controllers.
