The document discusses the increasing role of robots in the packaging industry, noting a rise in functional industrial robots from approximately 1.6 million in 2015 to an estimated 2.6 million by 2019. It provides twelve key factors to consider when buying a robot, including axis number, working envelope, carrying capacity, and motion control. Additionally, it highlights applications such as palletizing and interfacing with cartoners for complex packaging needs.

- 3. ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER • There were around 1,631,600 functional industrial robots by the end of 2015. • This number is estimated to reach 2,589,000 by the end of 2019.
- 4. 12 THINGS TO KNOW WHEN BYING A ROBOT
- 5. 12 THINGS TO KNOW WHEN BYING A ROBOT 1. Number of axis: defines the range of posible movement (3 – 6 axis) 2. Working envelope: a region of space a robot can reach 3. Kinematics: defines posible movements depending on arragement of parts 4. Carrying capacity: defines how much weight can be lifted by a robot.
- 6. 5. Speed: defines how fast can a robot position the end of it’s arm 6. Acceleration: defines how quickly an axis can accelerate. 7. Accuracy: defines how closely a robot can reach a commanded position. 8. Repeatability: defines how well the robot will return to a programmed position. 12 THINGS TO KNOW WHEN BYING A ROBOT
- 7. 9. Motion control: defines the level of control required for some tasks. 10. Power source: Some robots use electric motors, some use hydraulic actuators. 11. Drive: some robots connect electric motors to the joints via gears; others connect the motor directly. 12. Compliance: defines an angle or distance at what robot axis will move when a force is applied to it. 12 THINGS TO KNOW WHEN BYING A ROBOT
