Robotic Corner Board Applicator
The new Orion Robotic Corner Board
Applicator, or RCBA,
is the fastest and most
efficient way to apply
corner boards to pallet
loads. Using robotics
to pick and place the
boards vastly increases the precision and
simplicity of the process as compared to systems that
place boards by mechanical means. Corner boards
are attached to loads on the infeed section while
transporting in to the wrapping area. Attachment methods can be tailored to customer specifications. Current
methods include hot melt glue or nitrogen charged
adhesive to produce a foam type adhesive for protecting the corrugate from damage when the boards are
removed.

Specifications
• Standard Load Sizes:Min: 36”x36” / Max 48”x48” / Height 20”-80”
• Throughput Rate Up To 60 Loads Per Hour
• Cornerboard Size Range: 3”x3” - 6”x6”
• Scored Corrugate Range: 6”x6” - 12”x12”
• Conveyor: 52” EW CDLR, 18” Top of Roller
• Magazine: Convey Stacks Into Cell, Can be Loaded While in Operation

Other features of the RCBA include:
Non-contact load sensing: a variety of ultra-sonic
or photoeye sensing methods can be used to assure
accurate load sensing without the need to physically
touch the load.
Category 3 Safety: full surround fencing, light curtains, emergency stop buttons and several other
safety features assure that operators are protected
while near the system.

The Orion Robotic Corner Board Applicator places two corner
boards at a time in the infeed area of the stretch wrapper. Customers
who place cornerboards manually can realize substantial cost savings when upgrading to robotic corner board application.

Flexibility: the RCBA can be integrated on to most
Orion automatic stretch wrapping systems including
both FA Turntable and MA Rotary Tower models. It
can also be retro-fitted to many third-party wrapping
machines or configured as a stand alone device prior
to any manufacturers stretch wrapping machine.
Reliability: Orion/Brenton is one of the country’s
top integrators of Fanuc robotics. Our technical
experience with Fanuc is recognized as superior
in sales, installation, programming and service.

Corner boards are held
to the load with beads of
adhesive that are precisely
sprayed on to the board.
Customers can choose
from a variety of adhesives
to match their application.

The Fanuc robot uses a specially engineered appliance to pick and
place a variety of cornerboard types and sizes. Corner boards are
loaded by operators outside of the Category 3 fencing and are then
fed in to the production zone automatically.
