Product Detail

Features

  • Small palletizing systems for cases have single-lane infeed, single-lane stacking, and allow for operators to easily remove each full pallet by pallet truck or forklift
  • Medium palletizing systems for cases have dual-lane infeed, dual-lane stacking and pallet dispensing. They typically include some manner of pallet handling conveyors to increase the level of automation.
  • Large palletizing systems for cases have tri-lane infeed, tri-lane stacking, dual pallet dispensing and slip-sheet dispensing or quad-lane infeed, quad-lane stacking, dual pallet dispensing and slip-sheet dispensing.
  • The robot is able to continually stack cases on the pallet loading areas; then they are released when pallet is full for operator to remove (small systems), or directly to the pallet discharge conveyor (medium & large systems)  
  • Single pallet dispensers for continuous flow of pallets to robot loading area (medium & large systems)
  • Dual pallet dispensers can be programmed to use different pallets to fill customer requests for specific pallet type (ie. CHEP Pallets) (large palletizing systems)
  • Automated slip-sheet depositor will help reduce labor costs and can be programmed to deposit slip-sheet to required orders only (medium & large systems)
  • Light curtains let the full pallets of product leave while the robot continues to palletize more product (small, medium & large systems)
  • The safety fencing is to protect employees, still letting them monitor the robot’s operations while meeting all safety standards of local labor laws. (small, medium & large systems)
  • Easy-to-access HMI (Human Machine Interface (small, medium & large systems)
