Rapid Development Services. introduced new method for robotic case packing of plastic bottles. The same system can be adjusted to stage multiple bottles in various arrays, pick and place bottles from 2 oz to 1.5 liters. This system uses 6-axis robot that can provide additional guiding inside the formed case. System can place up to 48 bottles per cycle at up to 150 bottles per minute overall rate. This system can pack bottles with pumps as well as bottles with difficult to handle features.

Robotic Screw Driving Cell.
RDS, Inc. developed new type of Robotic Screw -driving Cell for appliance assembly. This Cell employs six axis robots capable of driving self tapping screws at variety of angles in relation to the work surface. The cell has ability to feed short screws that cannot be fed by conventional tube feeding. The rate of the system is up to 20 screws per minute. The torques limits can be set and location of the passed or failed screws are displayed. System includes feeding and registration conveyor to transfer appliance in and out of the Cell.

Robotic Cell for Aircraft Rivets Fabrication.
RDS, Inc. built robotic cell for secondary fabrication of the aircraft rivets. The system is designed to handle various size rivets and provide crimping and gauging of the product. Dual sets of tooling has allowed for uninterrupted production while one set of tooling is prepared for set up and calibrated, another set is accessed by the robot.

New Technology for Robotic Bag Palletizing.
Rapid Development Services. developed new Robotic Bag Palletizing Cell capable of handling 1, 2 or 3 bags per cycle. This cell can provide flexibility of palletizing various size bags without gripper replacement. The advantages of this new technology is its ability to palletize bags by controlling overlap of the face to face wedged top of the bags to create accurate, stable, bags inward leaning pallets.
