Machine Process
The carcass is fed into the machine via an RNA vibratory sorter bowl
One blade is fitted via a stack feeder
A spacer is fitted next via a stack feeder
Then a second blade is fitted via a stack feeder
Finally a top protector piece is fitted fed by a second RNA vibratory sorter bowl
After the welding station is a quality control camera system (Hermann HMI and Keyence camera) and a reject station
When the stack up is complete it is ultrasonically welded together and then transferred into a clear plastic retainer along with 3 more
It is then transferred to a pick and place robot to place the completed assembly into a tray
Two Omron robots are present, one to fill the square plastic retainer and the other to place it into a tray

The HMI and PLC, and servo controller are made by Beckhoff
The inverter is made by Omron
The pneumatics are premonitory SMC and Festo
