Orfer Oy, founded in 1970, engineers and manufactures automated material-handling systems for a variety of industries. The Finland-based company has recently expanded, opening its North American office in Toronto. Orfer also expanded its BoxCell packing system with the BoxCellPlus, an automated packing machine for food and packaging industries.
The BoxCellPlus is designed to open flattened boxes, fold the flaps, and seal the bottom with tape and then fill the box with products—all in one economical, space-saving and fully automated packing cell. To complete the design, Orfer needed a robot that was fast, accurate and could easily integrate with a vision system.
