Automated Refrigerator Shelf Production Courtesy of Craig Machinery

Craig Machinery & Design, a FANUC Authorized System Integrator, has engineered a roller hot stamping machine designed to manufacture refrigerator shelves. This system not only boosts productivity but also guarantees consistency and quality in every stamped product.
Here’s how it streamlines the process:
1. Load: The operator places a part onto the FANUC M-710iC Robot’s End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT).
2. Initiate: With a press of the start button, the cycle is initiated.
3. Secure: A pneumatic door ensures safety by sealing the work area.
4. Stamp: The robot transports the parts to the United Silicon Roller Hot Stamping Machine.
5. Branding: Under the roller, each part receives a precise hot stamp.
6. Return: The robot repositions itself at the loading station, ready for the next cycle.
7. Access: The door reopens, signaling the end of the process.
8. Unload: The operator removes the finished product from the bin.
Benefits:
• Precision: Customized stamping for perfect branding every time.
• Flexibility: Adaptable to different part sizes and shapes.
• Efficiency: Streamlined process from loading to unloading.
• Safety: Automated doors and controlled operations ensure operator safety.
