Bottles enter the system on a conveyor into a timing screw for location and count control, in addition to a 90 degree rotation of bottles where applicable. A programmable Cartesian pick and place creates a layer matrix on a platen. A scara robot removes an entire layer of bottles from the collator platen and places them into the case. Also, the robot adds a slip sheet between layers. Farason purchased and integrated a commercially available case erector/bottom taper machine, roller conveyors and a closer top taper machine.
