Farason Corporation - Product Announcements

Blisters exit an Uhlmann tablet blistering machine on a 5-lane deck oriented upright. The Farason infeed integrates over the Uhlmann exit and transfers the blisters into our 5-lane deck, where blister presence is counted and verified. Blisters are picked up in groups and loaded into trays for storage and eventual packaging (on another Farason machine). (read more)

The heart of the Farason system is a 2-up, indexing, cam-driven, rotary dial equipped with various parts/product feeding systems and a print and apply labeler. (read more)

An existing vibratory feeder bowl and track was adapted into a Farason system that included an Adept robot equipped with vision guidance to pick parts from the track and place them into the cavity of a moving post. (read more)

Three sizes of plastic lemons and limes are sorted, oriented and fed single file onto a conveyor by means of two Farason pocketed sorters that then feeds the lemons to a continuous motion rotary turret assembly that accepts both streams of lemons as well as empty pucks. The multi-layer starwheel assembly mates lemons into pucks and dischagres filled pucks back onto the production conveyor. (read more)

Rows of solar cells exit the oven where an Adept Robot, equipped with AdeptVision and Tracking, is utilized to find and remove individual cells. Rejected, cracked or chipped cells are bypassed by the robot and fall off the conveyor into a receptacle. (read more)

System accepts manually loaded stacks of trays, singulates the trays, removes syringe platforms from the tray, and loads them into an intermittent motion cartoner. Empty trays return to the manual loading area for operator removal. (read more)

Mobile unit rolls between Class 100 Clean Rooms where incubator trays, consisting of an array of eleven plastic petri dishes, are manually loaded into the robot cell. A barcode scanner reads the product code on the tray, which in turn identifies the specific sequence of processes to take place. (read more)

Plastic shampoo bottles are collated by means of a timing scew and pick and place arrangement into a pre-specified array. 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. (read more)

Rows of glass vials are tracked and removed from the exit conveyor of an annealing oven, and subsequently transferred for vision inspection and then passed on for final packaging. (read more)

Spray pumps with overcaps and dip tubes are sorted in a Farason pocketed sorter such that they exit the sorter with the dip tube upward. The pumps enter a c-chute for re-orientation and then exit onto a conveyor. Missing overcaps or dip tubes are identified in the sorter and ejected prior to the c-chute. Spray pump assembly is then inserted into the bottle. (read more)

Farason has been designing and building compact assembly lines for major cosmetic companies since 1992 with 22 systems installed and 21 stil in operation. (read more)

Lipstick caps are sorted from bulk in a Farason pocketed sorter and fed to a pick and place that places them onto lipstick bases riding in boats. Completed assemblies are removed from the boats and placed into shipped trays. (read more)

Plastic vials filled with product held in carriers consisting of multiple arrays are manually loaded onto a conveyor. The machine automation takes over and unloads the carriers, sorts and screws the caps on, places a label around the vial, and ejects into a bag. (read more)

Combining Farason's FaraFeeder or ButchFeeder, component/part recirculating conveyor system with Adept or ABB robot and vision guidance results in a highly flexible component sorting, feeding, and placing system to accommodate components that are difficult or impossible to handle by conventional bowl style systems.

Cubitainer boxes, transported directly from an upstream Pearson box erecting machine, enter the Farason system via a Hytrol conveyor.

Farason received the Pearson from the system integrator, Filamatic, Baltimore, MD, for integration to the Farason supplied box conveyors and use for testing and debugging the Farason system. (read more)

Parts are sorted and presented by means of a Farason FaraFeeder parts recirculating system, consisting of a series of tiered conveyors with an elevating bucket connecting the bottom-most return conveyor to the upper metering conveyor. (read more)

Laminate films, either two separate rolls or a single 2-ply roll of varying thickness, are dispensed by means of AC-motor driven unwind reels, whose operation is governed by a Senix ultrasonic sensor that detects the roll diameter and compensates the motor speed accordingly to dispense film uniformly, as called upon by the festoon. (read more)

Strands of product organized in 16 lines or more across a product conveyor, as fed from an upstream extruder, pass through a cutter, where they are cut into a specifi c product length, 8" to 10", as dictated by each SKU requirement. (read more)
