Our Osprey® Robotic Case Packers and Talon Picking Systems eliminate manual product handling functions, including many elements of product and/or package inspection.
Benefits of the JLS Automation Osprey and Talon Systems:
• Flexible Design with Small Footprint can easily integrate into existing lines
• Rapid Changeover with few adjustments and no “tweaking”
• USDA-Approved design for sanitary, wash-down environments
• Patented and Proprietary End-Of-Arm Tooling designed to handle meat, poultry and dairy products, frozen and prepared foods, bakery products, tortillas, flat bread, snack cakes
• High reliability provided by ABB IRB 360 FlexPicker
Our PIVT™ (Package Integrity Validation Technologies) System is a collection of technologies that utilizes vacuum, vision and other sensor technologies to detect seal contamination, leaks and pinholes that lead to the loss of package integrity. PIVT™ can
detect leaks at high speeds and is ideal for packages that contain a brine or juice such as hot dogs, sliced luncheon meats, and sausages. This enabling technology allows a robot to identify a leaky package, at line speeds of up to 160 packages/min, and reject it. “PIVT™ is a game changer,” states Craig Souser, President/CEO. “High-speed leak detection has typically been a challenge on an automated case packing system. With the first installation of PIVT™ on an Osprey case packer, our customer has already gained a 30 percent increase in productivity with a 67 percent reduction in packaging line labor.”

Automatic chub loading system
Published on May 29, 2015

Using the JLS Osprey® robotic case packer as a base, special modifications and tooling were added to develop the innovative Osprey CL automatic chub loader. The system features single or dual ABB IRB 360 FlexPicker robots, which are the most sanitary picking robots on the market today. The entire system comes in a small footprint, saving processors valuable floor space. Speeds range from 125 chubs/min (single-head robot) up to 200 chubs/min (dual-head robot) depending on chub size, weight and pack pattern.

The CL, like traditional Ospreys, utilizes the full capabilities of the ABB robot(s) to remove complexities found in other pick & place, gantry and wrap-around case packers. Some of the features that make the CL a chub loading game changer include:
• Simple Product Handling – Use of special V-TRACK™ pick conveyor to eliminate rolling during picking – runs any size chub
• Simple End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) - Light weight, changes quickly without tools, cleans easily and features Vacuum On Board (VOB)® which facilitates high-speed vacuum generation without external pump or blower
• Simple Case Handling - Flight-free conveyor design allows continuous motion case transport without constant start/stop
• High Sanitary Design - Stainless steel round tube construction, continuous welds, NEMA 4X rating
• Modular System Design - Case packing, erecting and sealing are all decoupled allowing for maximum system flexibility
• Extremely Fast Changeovers – Simply change a recipe, adjust the case guide rails and change the end-of-arm tool
The CL handles chub packs ranging from 2” to 4.5” diameter, 4” to 24” in length and weights from 8oz up to 10lbs. Chub products handled include ground beef, turkey, chicken, pork or sausage, pet food, cookie dough, sauerkraut, chili, liver sausage, polenta, meatloaf and more.
