Question 1

How Does the Robotic Dual Palletizing of Boxes Work?

Accepted Answer

The robotic palletizing cell can load two different box sizes onto separate pallets simultaneously. The robot automatically picks up the box from the end one of two conveyors. RFID technology is used to communicate in real-time with the robot to complete the palletizing sequence. The robot presents the box to a print and apply label applicator where labels with product specific information are applied to the box. Next, the robot stacks the box on the appropriate pallet in a programed pattern. The robot also places slip sheets on each pallet and between box layers for stability. When a pallet is complete, an operator can disable the palletizing cell momentarily to remove the finished pallet without stopping the rest of the packaging line. Once an empty pallet has been placed and the cell enabled, palletizing can continue.

Question 2

How Does the Robotic Palletizing of Boxes Work?

Accepted Answer

The robot will remove boxed rolls from an accumulation conveyor and place them on the pallet. The robot stacks the boxes on the pallet in a programed pattern. The robot also places slip sheets on each pallet and between box layers for stability. When the pallet is complete it will advance to the end of the powered conveyor.

Question 3

How Does Robotic Palletizing of Rolls Work?

Accepted Answer

When a set of finished rolls reach the end of the conveyor, the robot picks up the rolls, turns them upright and places them onto the pallet in a pre-determined order.  The robot can be programmed to automatically palletize finished rolls in a variety of stacking patterns.

Question 4

Does Robotic Palletizing Work With Extra Large Rolls?

Accepted Answer

The versatility of this robot will stack and palletize large rolls with widths ranging from 3 to 36 inches, diameters ranging from 8 to 18 inches and weights ranging from 17 to 200 pounds.

Question 5

How Does Palletizing Bulk Rolls Work?

Accepted Answer

This automated packaging line palletizes bulk rolls of plotter and ink jet paper with finished roll lengths of 500 and 600 feet. A large cardboard tub is fastened to a pallet prior to packaging. A series of pneumatic push bars create a programmed layer pattern with the finished rolls. Once a layer is complete, the forming table moves into the box and transfers the rolls. The tub and pallet are turned on their side as the layers of finished rolls are transferred into the tub. Once the last layer is loaded, an elevator lowers the tub. A conveyor system moves the tub into an up-ender and turned upright. Once the filled tub reaches the end of the exit conveyor, the operator can remove it from the system with a forklift.

Question 6

How Does Palletizing Boxes Work?

Accepted Answer

The pallet is turned on its side as the boxes are transferred onto the pallet. A series of pneumatic push bars create a programmed layer pattern with the boxes.  Once a layer is complete, the forming table moves the boxes and transfers them onto the pallet. Once the last layer is loaded, the up-ender turns the loaded pallet upright.  An operator can remove it from the system with a forklift. This palletizing system also offered an option to palletize bulk rolls.
