PharmaMed Automation, based in Fargo, North Dakota, is a small and nimble engineering company that specializes in challenging factory automation projects. The company was challenged with automating the labeling of cases for a manufacturer of premium-quality liquid level sensors and alarm systems, using a fast, full-color, on-demand label printer and a fast, flexible and precise means of affixing the labels.
Their solution comprised of designing and building a self-contained labeling cell with an Epson ColorWorks® CW-C6000P Color Inkjet Label Printer, an Epson VT6L All-in-One 6-Axis Robot, a custom label track, custom tool head, and a conveyor, with all logic residing in the robot’s built-in controller.
