MACHINERY Automation and Robotics (MAR) says its end-of-line (EOL) robotic palletising system can make a significant difference to a factory’s production rates and cost effectiveness.
Machinery Automation and Robotics says its EOL robotic palletising system provides the flexibility to palletise single or multiple production lines simultaneously. Accordingly, this can markedly increase output and decrease overhead costs.
According to Machinery Automation and Robotics, the EOL design allows multiple smaller cells to be installed in existing palletising areas. Conversely, the product can be conveyed to a centralised area for palletising by a larger cell.
Moreover, this flexibility allows the EOL robotic palletising system to be integrated into an existing production space, minimising disruption and downtime.
To operate the EOL robotic palletising system, a technician places an empty pallet in the pallet station and activates the robot with a control pendant. The operator also uses the pendant to confirm the product to be palletised.
The product carton then travels down the infeed conveyor and is aligned by a squaring bar. The robot transfers the carton from the conveyor to the pallet station and repeats the cycle until the pallet load is complete.
Finally, the operator removes the pallet and replaces it with an empty pallet and re-starts the system.
Machinery Automation and Robotics says its EOL robotic palletising systems are available with a payload capacity up to 450kg and can be fitted with additional pallet stations and slip sheet magazines. The pallet stations and guarding are constructed from stainless steel.
EOL robotic palletising systems can be fitted with a variety of grippers, including mechanical, bag, crate, pail and other special purpose models. It also comes with an empty pallet infeed conveyor, a full pallet outfeed conveyor, the PanelView operator station and additional emergency stop stations.
