TIRELLI (AROL GROUP) | Cosmopack 2022

TIRELLI ROBOSORTER is the result of the cross-industry expertise of AROL GROUP R&D team: this new development (patent pending) is due to a specific need expressed by the health-care sector to increase flexibility for low-speed feeding system of triggers and pumps.
 
The solution identified by AROL GROUP engineering team involves the use of a robot equipped with a dedicated tool. Trigger or pumps are loaded from the elevator tank, then the lift carries them upwards by dropping them by gravity onto a horizontal motorized belt. On the horizontal picking tape, the trigger or the pump pass under the 2D vision system responsible to recognize their position and orientation. The robot takes them by the compliant specifical gripper from the tape and unloads them inside a special orientation guide; the trigger or pump not taken shall be returned to the lift to restart the cycle.

Compared to current feeding systems, ROBOSORTER reduces the costs of electricity consumption by not using compressed air, the time of format change (from about 25 minutes to about 3 minutes, with increased flexibility), noise pollution and the space occupied on the ground. ROBOSORTER can be combined with TIRELLI OSCAR, the capper designed specifically for fitting bottles with trigger or pumps, or with the TIRELLI monoblock SIGMA.
