Model 101U Robotic action ensures gentle handling

Robotic action ensures gentle handling

The pick and place operation is servo-driven, providing precise container placement thereby reducing label damage and container scuffing. Containers are not dropped, but are gently lowered to the bottom of the case, providing:
- Improved bottle stability when handling lightweight plastic containers
- Reduced risk of breakage when handling glass
- Gentle handling of heavy, industrial-sized containers
- Offers packagers the option to use thin-wall containers without sacrificing packaging performance
