When developing thermoformed assembly trays, a detailed understanding of the robotic platforms that will be handling the trays must be ascertained. These include specifics on the robotic fixtures, tray locators, pinchers, and tray orientation and loading system. If there is no existing fixture, collaboration between the equipment maker/customer/ thermoform tray supplier will determine the most efficient design to facilitate the goals of the automated parts assembly operations.
Thermoformed dunnage trays protect, secure, and orient products during automated or manual part assembly, shipping, and storage. While each plastic dunnage tray is custom designed, there are shared design features. These include: Tray size/parts per tray; stack & rotate, denests, and hand access design features; automation; and material type and thickness.
COVID halted business travel, including trade shows and conventions. Dordan has not exhibited since 2019, but looks forward to showing off its new medical packaging at MD&M West (Anaheim, CA, August 10-12, 2021).
