Modular and configurable to suit different layouts, Robotic Tray System (RTS) provides buffering and accumulation system within can end manufacturing processes. It can run trays from existing balancer systems, and optional servo belt drives eliminate air usage by replacing pneumatic cylinders. Acting as one unit, system is comprised of 4 separate systems: infeed lanes, robot end-of-arm tooling, discharge lanes with shuttle, and discharge conveyors.
