The development of the PEWO form TLC is based on the idea of creating a highly flexible modular packaging machine system that is founded on a
basic cell (robot cell). This cell can be duplicated as required to realize various packaging functions.TLC is the abbreviation of Top
Loading Casepacker and stands for high performance case packing of the most flexible kind. Four packaging processes can be realized by the
TLC system: Erection, collation, top loading and closing of the cases or trays. In the case of 'Toploading', the case is filled from above
with products or product collations such as cartons, bottles, aerosol cans or tubes. These can be packed into the shipping case in a number
of combinations (lying and/or standing), independent of the direction of transport. Intermediate layers or package enclosures can also be
integrated. Consequently, a huge number of package forms can be realized while, at the same time, a highly efficient utilization of the case
is achieved. As a result of simultaneous filling using 'Pick-and-Place', speeds of up to 40 cycles per minute can be realized.
