Abstract
The work aims to design an efficient canned packing manipulator which can be assembled in the industrial robot. A combined manipulator was proposed. It could synchronize the adsorption and placement of cans and cardboards and realize multi-layers case packing and cardboard interlayer placement. The manipulator was suitable for the case packing of round and oval cans. It had been applied to the production line of jam, fruit juice, herbal tea, canned fish, etc. In canned production line, cans and cardboards could be put into 4 same-sized cartons by this manipulator simultaneously. The maximum loads of this manipulator was 30 kg. In conclusion, the structure has simple design and many functions. It can effectively improve the production efficiency.
