Robot Palletising Solutions

Robotiq Palletising Solutions

Palletising can be a very repetitive task when handled manually, this is why it is one of the most common robotic solutions across many industries. The Robotiq AX Series UR10e and 2 x PE Series: PE10e and PE20 robotic palletising solutions have been developed to meet the needs of companies providing essential goods in lower throughput applications, with frequent changes of task and box or pallet size.

Both palletising robots solutions bring many benefits including:

• Flexibility
• Efficiency
• Easy set up

They can also be easily integrated with other manufacturing lines, making automated palletising, depalletising, or both, a perfect solution to enhance your end-of-line operations.

PE Series UR20

The PE Series UR20 is ideal for heavier loads and low to moderate pallet heights. The PE20 Robotiq Palletizing Solution handles all standard pallet dimensions. Plus, it reaches stack heights of up to 2.1 m (80 in), allowing you total flexibility in meeting various requirements, worldwide.

Box Specifications:

Maximum pallet height: 2,150mm

Maximum payload with EOAT: Up to 20kg

Maximum box throughput: Up to 13 cycles/min *

Minimum box dimensions: 50 x 50 x 50 mm

*Depending on box weight, dimensions, and surface, as well as pallet dimensions and layout.

What’s included:

1. Cobot Base
2. Manually adjustable pedestal
3. PowerPick gripper, extra reach bracket
4. Tower lights, integrated pallet sensors
5. Teach Pendant Stand with Internal Cable Routing
6. Application Software: Material Handling Copilot
7. Box sensor, Anchor kit, Cable management system

How does the palletising system work?

• An empty pallet is placed on the palletising machine
• Boxes are moved into the palletising cell
• Retro reflective sensors detect the boxes and the Universal Robot arm then picks them up and begins to stack them on the pallet
• Once a pallet is full, the robot waits for the pallet to be removed, before it begins the process again.

What are the benefits of the Robotiq palletisers?

• Quick and easy to install, set up and configure
• All hardware and software already connected
• Small footprint allows for an easy fit into an existing floor plan
• Application set up on the robot in 3 simple steps
• Fully integrated vertical 7^th Axis  on the AX series, or manually adjustable pedestal on the PE Series
• The palletisers can pick a wide range of boxes and cover extensive heights and pallet dimensions to suit your needs
• Palletising Copilot software does the hard work for you as it automatically generates and optimises all trajectories and cobot movements

How does automating your end-of-line palletising enhance your operations?

• Frees up your employees for higher value tasks
• Provides a versatile and flexible option for palletising
• Fast return on investment
• Faster palletising speed compared to when the task is carried out manually

This robotic solution is the perfect application to ensure that all aspects of your end-of-line operations are highly efficient.

Start your project

How many boxes per minute could be palletised at your facility? Try the easy-to-use robotic palletising simulator, allowing you to validate your choice to invest with your own data. The Configurator will help you choose the appropriate solution for your application. Plus, find out whether the AX Series or PE Series is a better fit for you.

All you need to do is:

1. Enter the box dimensions
2. Enter the pallet dimensions
3. Enter the conveyor dimensions
4. Enter the pallet pattern and number of layers desired

The configurator will then tell you if your boxes, pallets and patterns fall within the solution’s limits and if yes, more information will be provided.
