Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1645513A2] A cigarette packing system comprises a plurality of reconfigurable modules (100). Each module includes tooling for performing a section of the packaging process. Product is transferred between modules by robots (110) mounted on the modules and controlled from individual modules. Interface protocols between modules control transfers between modules. The product may be transferred with or without a carrier between modules. The modules may be reconfigured for a different assembly process and modules added or removed. Process specific tooling maybe changed. Reconfigurable modules reduces the time and cost of changing to a different packaging process.
