This automation solution utilizes the YASKAWA MCL20 to sort and transfer medicated patches (pain relief patches) within a cleanroom environment.

The system performs precise counting and neat alignment—tasks previously handled by human workers—with human-like dexterity. By simultaneously processing four batches, the system significantly increases operational speed and overall productivity.

Workflow

STEP 1.
Counting & Loading: The quantity of patches is counted and loaded onto the conveyor.
STEP 2.
Primary Alignment: Patches undergo initial alignment on the conveyor system.
STEP 3.
Secondary Alignment: The YASKAWA MCL20 robot performs precision secondary alignment.
STEP 4.
Multi-Batch Transfer: The robot picks up four bundles of patches simultaneously and transfers them to the discharge conveyor.
