Here are just a few of the highly successful projects we have undertaken:
Case Study 1: Fully Automatic Robot Packing System.
This system was designed using a Robot to erect and bottom seal Cardboard Boxes from a flat pack box magazine. The same Robot then collatates the two different products running on the 2 lines and using a state of the art Vacum Head and itelegent Robotic Controller loads the product into the erected boxes on the 2 loading stations. The filled boxes are then top sealed, stacked and transported via a fully automatic conveyor system through a curing oven and then to the warehouse to be dispatched. The system was designed to handle various formats ranging from 9 to 96 products per box all selected from an operator touch screen.
Case Study 2: Special Conveyor Applications
Potting Conveyor
This conveyor cures electronic encapsulation resin for electrical components, previous customers have achieved zero defects since installation of the system.

Case Study 3: Tub Lid Applicator
Lids
Running at 100 tubs per minute, this project far exceeded customer expectations

Case Study 4: Fast change line guide
Lane Guides
GPS have developed a mechanical lane change system allowing automated line set up for filling lines via PLC control. Typically 6 seconds change over is available.

Case Study 5: Mid Conveying Product Orientation
Orientator
GPS have developed a revolutionary new system for orientating products along a conveying line by utilising a vision system.
Case Study 6: Existing Filler Twin Servo Scoll
A Twin Servo Feed Scroll system was designed and installed on a customers existing 4 head index filler. This system enabled the customer to run new and difficult to handle products through the filler originaly designed for simple standard products. Once installed the additional benefit were vastly improved speed, reliability and the overall gain was in the region of 15% productivity.

Case Study 7: Fully Automated 8 Format Capping Machine
A fully Automatic Capping System was designed to handle 8 different formats varing from and including a 30ml test pot upto a 1 litre contaner and also a 500ml hand pump container. This system consisted of a Cap hopper and elevator conveyor to automatically feed caps to twin vibratory sorters in accustic enclosures to give correct cap orientation. The caps are then feed onto a single cap feed conveyor into a holding cassette ready to be applied. A servo driven indexing star wheel is used to accurately position the prefilled containers.The cap is then applied using a servo driven applicator head. Due to the inteligent design of the machine it is possible to carryout a full product size change in 4 minutes.

We have a vast experience of building full machines and thrive on the challenge of pioneering a solution to a non-standard application.
