Introducing Robotique Palletizing Solution

Palletizing can be a repetitive and strenuous task for workers while utilizing their skills away from other essential tasks. Manual palletizing is slow, labor-intensive, and can lead to injuries. Industrial palletizers resolve this issue, but they take up a lot of space, are expensive, and not flexible enough when the layout of the box or pallet changes. Fortunately, there is a solution that is affordable, flexible, and efficient: the Robotique Palletizing System. This turnkey solution comes with everything you need to start palletizing in your factory, including a robot arm, end-of-arm tooling, a linear actuator, pallet sensors, and easy-to-use software.

The Drawbacks of Manual Palletizing

Manual palletizing can be a tedious and repetitive task for workers, leading to physical injuries over time. This task of picking and placing heavy boxes for a prolonged period can be strenuous on the workers' body, affecting the overall health, and it requires the constant presence of someone at the end of the line. Moreover, manual palletizing takes workers away from other important tasks where they can use their abilities more efficiently.

Industrial Palletizers - Major Drawbacks

The large-sized industrial palletizers solve the manual palletizing issue, but they come with their own set of drawbacks. These machines occupy a lot of space, making it unsuitable for factories with limited floor space. They are expensive, and the process of redeploying these machines is very complex. With a change in the size of the box or pallet layout, reprogramming the machine according to the new Dimensions is not straightforward.

Elements of Robotique Palletizing System

The Robotique Palletizing System is a turnkey solution that saves time, eliminates the need for manual labor and reduces the risk of injury. The solution provides a robot arm that picks and places the boxes with minimal human intervention, end-of-arm tooling that can grip the boxes of various sizes and shapes, a linear actuator that moves the robot arm in various directions, pallet sensors that detect if a pallet is ready, and an easy-to-use programming software.

Programming Your Pallet Routine

The programming of the pallet routine in the Robotique Palletizing System is straightforward and can be done in three easy steps. In the first step, initialize the vertical axis of the palletizer by pressing the UR caps button at the top-right corner and clicking the start button. In the Second step, insert a palletizing command from the URcaps tab available on the left side of the screen. The software will guide You through three steps, setting up the box, pallet, and pallet pattern. Programming the box will require you to enter the box's dimensions, payload and grip position. Then, the palletizer will teach the pallet layout as per the dimensions, front and side Height of the pallet, where pallets are either on the left or right. As an addition, the Robotique Palletizing System allows two separate conveyors for palletizing at different locations. After setting the palette and the box, we use commands to grip and release the boxes at the desired locations. Finally, you can choose a layer sequence between layer a and layer b, and the software creates a palletizing program Based on the sequence.

Running the Palletizing Program

You can run the palletizing program quickly once all three steps are marked with green check marks, indicating they are completed. The Robotique Palletizing System can support up to two separate conveyors, allowing palletizing on different pallets simultaneously. The stack lights on top of the system alert the operators to move the completed pallets.

Additional Features of Robotique Palletizing System

The Robotique Palletizing System is designed to be easy to use and maintain for users. If any mechanical or electrical components require servicing, the manufacturer provides step-by-step maintenance guides to assist the user in the process. The robot arm saves energy consumption as it uses power only when activated.

Benefits of Using Robotique Palletizing System

The Robotique Palletizing System saves labor costs by reducing the need for manual labor and optimal utilization of workers' time, leading to reduced risk of workplace injuries, lower absenteeism, and staff turnovers. It also saves on space, as it is smaller than traditional palletizing machines, making it suitable for any-sized factory. In addition, the Robotique Palletizing System is easy to set up, program, and operate, leading to increased productivity, efficiency, and higher rates of output.

Conclusion

The Robotique Palletizing System is an affordable, flexible, and efficient solution for all factory owners. It eliminates the drawbacks of manual labor, maintaining staff safety while being simple to use. With its intuitive software, it allows for easy programming and operation. The Robotique Palletizing System keeps employees productive and efficient, and increases output with minimal investment.
