Inca RoboKombi

Bottle and crate changes

In the event of different bottle/crate sizes, a different set of gripping heads can be housed on a dedicated magazine (available as an option). The robotic head moves on top of the dedicated magazine releasing the current set of gripping heads and bottle guides, picking up the new ones. The Inca Robo-Kombi offers semi-automatic changeover on crate conveyors.
