Product Placers / Timing Gates

Product placers are customizable, letting you add efficiency-enriching features like:

• Speed control.
• Clutch-brake controls.
• “Low product” and “missed-pick” sensors.
• A horizontal powered magazine.

When combined with timing gates, pick-and-place machines’ versatility will improve your bottom line and meet your specific needs. A timing gate lets you program your placers’ constants and input and output signals to suit your requirements. Operators can accelerate or slow the machine as needed, ensuring maximum accuracy on every task. Their user-friendly design and numerous configurations make it easy to get the job done right.

The Advantages of Placement and Timing Automation

Product automation has many practical and economic advantages. These benefits include:

• Higher speed and precision: Product placers can achieve speeds of up to 400 ppm. An optical sensor locks onto an item’s feature before registering, allowing them to be more accurate than any conventional placement method. With proper maintenance and programming, they’ll yield high-quality results every time.
• Excellent cost value: Greater speed and precision save you money on labor costs, intensity, and time. You can also program your rotary product placer to fit your specifications, including movements and product dimensions. Its mechanisms can handle any product shape and type, so you can count on one packaging machine for multiple functions.
• Increased safety and ease of use: Pick-and-place machines take on many labor-intensive tasks, such as handling heavy goods. Their capabilities reduce the risk and physical demand your employees must shoulder while increasing efficiency. Thanks to an intuitive interface, operators can easily configure a placer’s settings to match your specifications. Our formal equipment training program will help them maximize your machine’s output and productivity.
• Low maintenance: Rotary product placers require minimal upkeep to perform their best work. With a preventative maintenance program and low-cost replacement parts, you can keep repair costs in check and ensure optimal performance.
