Configurations

Robot palletising systems typically come in one of four configurations; single static, dual static, semi automatic or fully automatic. Please see below for explanations of each of these, you can also click of the pictures to view an enlarged copy in a new window. The exact layout and content is designed to suit each application, these are just some examples.

Single Static Robot Palletising System

This is probably the simplest and most compact cell possible. Your product is fed into the cell by a conveyor to a position where it is picked up by the robot by either vacuum or mechanical gripper. The robot then places your product on the pallet that is placed on the floor. Once the programmed stacking pattern has been completed the system will stop and wait until an operator replaces the full pallet with and empty one and resets the control system. The downside of this design of cell is that your production facility may have pause whilst the full pallet is replaced.

Dual Static Robot Palletising System

Your product is fed into the cell by a conveyor to a position where it is picked up by the robot by either vacuum or mechanical gripper. The robot then places your product on to one of the pallets that is placed on the floor. Once the programmed stacking pattern has been completed on that pallet, the system starts to palletise on the other pallet in the cell (if it is empty). Providing the full pallet is replaced with an empty one by the time the robot finishes the other pallet, your production system will not stop. Safe entry is permitted into the cell using a lightguard and reset system.

Semi Automatic Robot Palletising System

An empty pallet is placed onto a pusher conveyor that positions the pallet in the correct position next to the robot, empty pallets are replenished as they are used. Meanwhile, your product is fed into the cell by a conveyor to a position where it is picked up by the robot by either vacuum or mechanical gripper. The robot then places your product on the pallet that has been put in the stacking position on a conveyor. Once the programmed stacking pattern has been completed the system will eject the full pallet out of the guarded area through muted lightguards to a position that it can be collected by an operator on a fork lift truck. The quantity of finished pallets that are accumulated after being palletised can be increased to suit your needs.

Fully Automatic Robot Palletising System

An stack of up to ten empty pallets is placed onto the pallet dispenser that releases one at a time to the robot. Meanwhile, your product is fed into the cell by a conveyor to a position where it is picked up by the robot by either vacuum or mechanical gripper. The robot then places your product on the pallet that has been put in the stacking position on a conveyor. Once the programmed stacking pattern has been completed the system will eject the full pallet out of the guarded area through muted lightguards to a position that it can be collected by an operator on a fork lift truck. The quantity of finished pallets that are accumulated after being palletised can be increased to suit your needs.
