Beck Automation Introduces Custom Robotic Folder

On a double bend folder running one shift per day, this solution offers a projected two-year return on investment.

Moundridge, KS — Beck Automation, a part of The Bradbury Group, introduces a custom robotic automated folder solution, designed to streamline production, improve efficiency and help operators get the most of their workforce.

The new robotic automated folder system can be integrated with folders up to 26 feet with a sheet loader, or up to 21 feet without one, depending on the setup. Because every folder comes with its own capabilities and limitations, Beck’s solution is tailored to each customer’s specific equipment. Trim can also be produced with or without protective film, providing flexibility for a wide range of jobs. This solution provides the following benefits:

• Reallocate Labor: Frees up operators to focus on bottlenecks in other areas or fill positions that have been challenging to fill.
• Workplace Safety: By automating repetitive and higher-risk tasks, the chance of workplace injuries is greatly reduced.
• Reduced Downtime: Setup and prep can be done while the equipment is running, minimizing lost time and maximizing efficiency.
• Increased Uptime: The folder can keep running after hours, during breaks or when operators are working on other equipment or tasks.
• Low Maintenance: The system is designed with minimal maintenance requirements, helping keep operations running smoothly.

On a double bend folder running one shift per day, this solution offers a projected two-year return on investment.
