Schubert North America LLC

Schubert’s flow wrapping machine, the Flowpacker, is essentially another variant of Schubert’s pick-and-place machine into which the Flowmodul flow-wrapping unit is seamlessly integrated. Unlike conventional product infeeds using belts, the flow wrapping machine saves floor space via its infeed design featuring pick-and-place robots. Naked or pre-packed products are packed into flowpacks with or without trays. System’s sealing technology enables packaging line flexibility, making it possible to switch quickly and easily between laminated films and new sustainable flowpack films.

Schubert’s robotic pick-and-place systems pack naked or pre-packed products of various consistencies into packaging materials. Picker lines are designed to easily switch from applications, i.e., from picking jobs using destacked plastic trays to ones using erected cardboard trays. Available in Scara or Delta designs, pick-and-place systems feature the Schubert Vision System and use the counterflow principle to guarantee product quality and completely filled trays. Scalable, custom solutions depending on the client’s needs are possible; Schubert’s largest pick-and-place machine to date comprises 48 F4 robots.

Schubert’s sub-machines are modular, self-contained units designed to perform specific packaging functions and can be seamlessly integrated into larger systems for tailored solutions. Among these, the **Lightline Cartonpacker** stands out as a compact and efficient option for cartoning operations. This single-module machine excels at erecting, filling, and closing cartons, delivering high-quality results in minimal space. Ideal for tasks with limited packaging format requirements, the Cartonpacker is preconfigured for quick delivery and easy installation, ensuring rapid deployment and cost-effective performance. This design embodies Schubert’s commitment to flexibility and efficiency, helping manufacturers meet dynamic packaging needs while streamlining operations with reliable and scalable technology.

Schubert North America offers several highly specialized robots designed to handle many packaging applications. Highlights include the F2 robot, for carrying out applications for two-dimensional working fields such as erecting, filling and closing boxes. The F3 robot was developed to remove packaging materials from magazines, and features a three-axis design that allows for efficiency in carrying out tasks. The F4 robot is a four-axis pick-and-place robot which, in cooperation with the TLM Vision System, picks products from a continuously running product belt and groups them in a box, tray or on a Transmodul – a Schubert-built robot marketed as the world’s first transport robot for packaging machines. Other robots include the T4 and T5 robots, which are Delta robots developed specifically for performing packaging tasks in restricted spaces.

Schubert end-of-arm tools are designed to handle a wide range of products and packages. Schubert’s tool development experts draw on their many years of expertise in designing modular grippers and suction cups that meet current as well as future requirements factoring in product and size changes. Pick-and-place robotic tools handle and load products and packages of all sizes ranging from small tubes, fragile cookies, cakes and pastries to shrink wrapped multipacks and multipack trays. Other applications for Schubert’s tooling include erecting of folding boxes, folding cases and carton blanks; filling liquids; and closing of boxes, tubes, cans and cups.

Schubert offers several models of TLM brand sub-machines – self-contained, fully functional machines that incorporate one function of a complex packaging machine – including the TLM palletizer. The TLM palletizer can be used to place finished packs straight onto a shipping or storage pallet. The P4 robot unit takes the packages from Schubert’s Transmodul transport robot and places them on pallets at a maximum rate of 15 cycles/min. With a lifting power of 100 kg, the P4 can grip several packages at the same time.
