IO Systems :: Tote and Carton Handling

Robotic pick and place solutions

Our robotic pick and place systems allow for accurate placement of totes or cartons into pallets. The robots can be integrated with grippers and vision systems, enabling them to identify the correct carton, pick it up from a moving conveyor and place it into the correct pallet.

Mini-load crane, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)

Mini-load crane, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) can be used as an intermediate storage buffer within the production process or as part of a fully automated warehouse system. The system operates by instructing the crane to move a product from a defined in-feed conveyor to a specified rack location. A material flow controller then updates the warehouse management system once the task has been completed.

Corner units

Our FTB curve acts as a space-saving solution for angled transfer. Designed to accurately convey product through 90 degrees with a small radius, this unit has a minimal footprint. Available in widths of 200 to 2,000mm and with a maximum load capacity of 15kg.

Elevators

Providing vertical access to materials and products, our light-to-medium-duty elevators allow you to expand your operation upwards instead of outwards.

Accumulators and buffers

Accumulators can be used to allow an in-process step such as cooling or drying; to provide a buffer to allow a balanced flow of production output, avoiding queuing and enabling demand-driven production; for storage in testing or sorting applications, or simply to hold your product prior to lifting or declining operations.

Conveyors to get your product from a to b

Depending on the application, we may recommend belt, flexible chain or roller-based systems. Our light-to-medium-duty conveyors are available in aluminium, painted steel or stainless steel. In addition to standard models, we supply specialised conveyors such as knife edge, cleated conveyors for incline and decline, swan neck conveyors and multiple track conveyors.
