Placing Plastic Injection-Moulding into Packing Trays
Kunstoff-Packungen AG
Kunstoff-Packungen has a long and proud history. It was founded in 1894 in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, and today is owner-managed with over 90 employees and 72 plastic processing machines. They focus on providing customer-specific packaging solutions. The company produces hollow-bodied plastic containers, bottles, and flexible tubing, with a volumetric range from 5 to 1500 milliliters. Kunstoff-Packungen's customers are mainly in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and chemical-technical industries. The company supplies customers worldwide and can adhere to ISO class 7 cleanroom specifications.
FANUC Robots at Kunstoff-Packungen AG
Due to the scarcity of skilled labour encountered by manufacturers worldwide, Kunstoff-Packungen, as a company committed to achieving excellence, consistently pursues avenues to enhance its automation capabilities.
"Our customer asked us to place the parts cavities separately in the boxes and secure them with an intermediate sheet after each layer. This is normally done by hand, and we set ourselves the goal of automating this task. It was important for us to be able to cover both small and large mold sizes with the system, and we started looking for suitable suppliers."
Markus Roth, owner of Roth Technik GmbH, describes the solution:
"We implemented a high-speed packaging solution with two FANUC robots, which take over the bottles from the injection blow-molding machine. We achieve a minimum part cycle time of up to 0.8 seconds, and the parts are deposited cavities apart, which is a very important quality advantage for the customer. In addition, the production data is stored on an RFID chip, which then automatically transfers the data to the labelling system, so that the error rate is also minimized there. Thanks to the use of two robots from FANUC, we achieve maximum flexibility, which was necessary for the different product types and processes."
One of the features the engineers at Roth Technik used to improve the efficiency of the automation was a dual-purpose gripper. The gripper allows the robot to handle multiple plastic bottles at a time, and also to position the thin foam sheet as needed. Marcel Fetzer describes his satisfaction with the results.

Fully Automated Assembly of Coffee Grinders
In the manufacture of popular household appliances such as coffee grinders, a number of prerequisites determine production success. For instance, only clearly structured, efficient and target-orientated processes will result in the required levels of production reliability. Achieving this ambition becomes significantly more realistic using automation, as market leader Eugster/Frismag AG can testify following its adoption of 14 FANUC LR Mate industrial robots and FANUC ZDT (Zero Down Time), which now enable the continuous automated assembly of a coffee grinder every 7 seconds.
