Vimco, an Italian company specialized in the secondary packaging for cardboard, wants to present innovation: a robotic product loading unit with a high-tech vision system

Vimco, an Italian company specialized in the secondary packaging for cardboard, wants to present both innovation and tradition in this event.

The tradition will be exhibit with a forming machine on the stand of one of Vimco’s partner, the company Bosch (HALL 2 – STAND C056).

Forming machines are Vimco’s core business since the very beginning. The company has indeed been founded in 1980 as producer of this type of machinery. Over these 40 years, Vimco has developed an extremely high and unique capability of customization of these machines which cannot be compared to any other competitor in the industry.

On its own stand (HALL 2 – STAND J026), on the other hand, Vimco brings the innovation: a robotic product loading unit with a high-tech vision system.

This vision system, equipped with different cameras, is able to recognize the size and orientation of the randomly incoming products, the quality and the colors of the primary packaging, a transparent film or a packaging of the same color of the transport belt.

This system communicates to the delta robot which products to pick up and which products must be rejected.

The robot is designed and manufactured by Vimco, who over the past decade has decided to produce in-house its own robotic units; from the mechanical and software engineering phase to the production of the mechanic parts. This decision was a natural response to request of the customers to have systems fully integrated into Vimco lines and the need to receive immediate service support without having to go through third parties.

The company, with a constant growth, aims at a continuous innovation to answer the market and the customer needs, by supplying machines which can be cutting-edge and user-friendly solutions at the same time.
