Robot Palletising Solutions

Robotiq Palletising Solutions

Palletising can be a repetitive and strenuous task when handled manually, so it is one of the most common robotic solutions used by manufacturers. Robotiq offers the ideal palletising solutions – AX Series AX10, AX20 and AX30 as well as PE Series PE10 and PE20 – to do the heavy lifting for you, while remaining safe for employees to be around.

The benefits of the Robotiq automated palletising solutions:

• Flexibility – can handle a wide range of box sizes, shapes, weights, packaging materials, adapting to frequent changes of box dimensions
• Efficiency – the software optimises trajectories to maximize speed & payload capacity and achieve the highest throughput
• Easy set up – the intuitive interface and intelligent software make it easy for anyone to operate, regardless of your robotics knowledge
• Compact – the small footprint means the palletiser fits easily within your existing floor space making installation easy

Most significantly, Robotiq include the software and all updates as part of the solution, and there are no annual licence fees to pay.

The Robotiq palletisers can be easily integrated alongside your existing manufacturing lines, making automated palletising, depalletising, or both, a perfect solution to enhance your end-of-line operations.

PE20

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.

Specifications:

Maximum pallet height: 2,150 mm

Maximum payload: Up to 18 kg

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.
