The Intelligent Flexible Transfer System (iFTS) from R.A Jones provides standard building blocks to solve simple or complex automation challenges. Drawing upon a comprehensive library of fixed automation, various robot types and sizes, and standard or custom tooling, the solution receives product from upstream systems that can be collected, grouped, oriented, and layered for either side-load or top-load cartons or cases. Standard frame mounting, guarding, and overhead enclosures can be readily adapted around other machines in the line. Lower frame mounting enables easy integration of conveyors and machine.
