Key Benefits of Automation in the Printing Industry

The adoption of industrial automation offers advantages beyond simple cost reduction. Specifically for the printing industry, FANUC solutions deliver:

Increased Speed and Throughput

Automated printing processes, particularly in binding, collation and packaging, operate continuously 24/7, dramatically shortening turnaround times for time-sensitive print jobs.

Flawless Quality and Consistency

Robots deliver repeatable precision in stacking, alignment and packaging, ensuring finished goods meet the exacting standards of clients, minimizing damage, and eliminating quality defects often associated with manual handling.

Flexibility for Short-Run and Variable-Data Jobs

Automation in the printing industry allows for rapid changeovers between different print jobs, sizes and packaging formats, making short-run and customized variable-data printing economically viable.

Improved Workplace Safety

Print automation systems handle heavy stacks of paper, manipulate large rollers, and manage repetitive motions, protecting human workers from strain and injury.

Robotic Applications for the Paper and Printing Industries

The versatility and reliability of FANUC robots are perfectly suited for the demanding environment of paper and printing facilities.

Dispensing and Sealing

Precise application of glues, adhesives or protective coatings on labels, books or packaging.

Palletizing

High-speed, mixed-case palletizing of finished print products (e.g., books, magazines, cardboard blanks) to maximize load density and stability. FANUC robots are essential for the final, critical step of preparing products for distribution.

Part Transfer

Rapid, accurate transfer of paper stacks, printed sheets or large print rollers between presses, cutters, and finishing equipment, optimizing workflow and reducing bottlenecks in the manufacturing line.

Picking and Packaging

High-speed pick-and-place of finished products into cartons or blister packs, ensuring proper orientation and alignment for retail or shipping.
