20 L paint pail with automatic handle assembly: 2 operators → 0
On a 2-cavity 20 litre pail mould, labelling and handle fitting were combined on one line with the SE-650 and HA-Handle; two operators per shift were freed.

01Challenge
A 2-cavity 20 litre paint pail was produced in a 14 second cycle on a 650 t machine; the wrap-around label was applied by hand and the handle was fitted at a separate table by two operators. 60 pails per day were set aside for label creasing.
02Solution
The SE-650 was installed with two-channel ES-Charge and mechanically supported pick-up for the 300 mm label; the HA-Handle unit was integrated into the conveyor line and synchronised with the robot. A high-voltage profile for the metallic paint label was stored in the recipe.
03Result
Labelling and handle fitting fit into a 12.5 second cycle; the line runs without an operator and creasing rejects fell to 4 pails per day. Two operators were moved to other lines.
