Motion Controls Robotics, Inc. Introduces SUBTA
FREMONT, Ohio, January 19, 2006 - Motion Controls Robotics, a leading provider of fully integrated robotic systems to manufacturing industries, introduces SUBTA (Stand Up Bottle Take Away). Motion Controls Robotics' SUBTA is a pre-engineered automation system designed for PET blow-molded bottle handling. Motion Controls Robotics has the largest installed base of SUBTA automation systems throughout the country, with many satisfied repeat customers. The company has developed SUBTA systems for most major molding machines on the market and sets itself apart by providing excellent service and technical expertise to all of its customers.
The SUBTA system enables in-line automated PET bottle handling and unloading for coating, leak checking, case packing and bulk palletizing. The SUBTA system grabs and sets the bottles on a conveyor standing up, acting as a takeaway unit.
The Motion Controls Robotics SUBTA system is easy to use since it is portable and rolls away from molding machine to allow for mold changes. It can be operated intuitively with easy-to-use joystick pattern teaching. The system includes an operator panel for recipe adjustments and error reporting.
"Ease of changeover is one of our biggest selling points that we've heard from customers on the SUBTA system," said Scott Lang, President, Motion Controls Robotics, Inc. "Customers also find it easy to make in-process modifications due to the operator interface. Motion Controls Robotics develops technology that helps to keep customers, American manufacturers, competitive."
The system provides increased throughput due to high reliability and uptime and cycle times faster than most mold machine rates. SUBTA also provides labor savings of up to two people per shift and the automated machine helps to reduce labor costs.
The SUBTA system is also flexible and precise since it handles any mold configuration (single or double row) and provides quick changeover using quick change tooling and stored recipes. The system is also programmable with a built-in joystick and operator panel with stored recipes, menu selection for patterns and on-the-fly adjustments.
The rugged welded tubular construction is reliable and durable, with low-maintenance state-of-the-art components. The SUBTA uses straightforward tooling, eliminating the need for multiple hoses that can develop leaks or become damaged.
SUBTA System Options include single or double row models custom end of arm tools for unique bottles.
