Sensors map container shape so a compliant blade follows non-planar cut lines, reducing product damage and blade wear.
Rotating knife disks segment shrink film at bottle heads, resolving the contradiction between secure packaging and efficient lateral extraction.
A rotating cutting tool makes discontinuous vertical and horizontal cuts in plastic wrappers for automated pallet unwrapping.
Strategic film segmentation prevents product falls and instability caused by uneven adhesion during undressing.
Cutting blade punctures containers on a platform to automate transfer, reducing manual handling and operator exposure to toxic substances.
Grippers grasp the protruding film end to extract it from the mandrel, resolving adhesion issues and reducing manual labor.
