An intelligent, high-speed Horizontal-to-Vertical Bottle Unscrambling and Sorting Automation Solution developed by ATOMROBOT. This system integrates advanced Delta parallel robots with high-precision machine vision to achieve dynamic tracking, 3D orientation adjustment, and upright placement of randomly arranged flat-fed bottles.
[Technical Workflow]
1. Horizontal Product Feeding: Bulk-loaded empty bottles are singulated and fed horizontally (lying flat) on the conveyor line.
2. Omnidirectional Vision Detection: The vision system detects each bottle’s coordinates, rotation angle, and face-up/face-down orientation in real-time.
3. 3D Rotation & Upright Placement: Four-axis Delta robots dynamically track the target, pick the flat bottles, execute precise mid-air rotation, and place them vertically (upright) onto the downstream conveyor.
[Key Performance Indicators]
1. Throughput: 40 bottles per minute (bpm) per robot / 160 bpm system total
2. Placement Accuracy: ±2mm
3. Labor Reduction: Replaces 2 manual sorting operators
4. Efficiency Increase: +100%
5. Return on Investment (ROI): 12 months
