Palletizing

Roboplan has extensive experience in developing and implementing automation and robotics in palletizing, depalletizing and end-of-line lines.

The palletizing process is a logistical process that consists of arranging products on a pallet in an organized manner and keeping products safe during transport and handling. The whole process of handling and stacking is typically a time-consuming, repetitive and demanding process for an employee's daily work, which sometimes takes place in inhospitable environments and is increasingly becoming a robotized process.

From boxes to sacks, wooden boards or metal components of small or large weight and size, there are many types of products that are currently palletized by robots, giving rise to complex solutions.

Factors and components
In order to robotize and automate this type of process, versatile and flexible solutions are required, where robots are used, which can have 4, 5 or 6 axes and which, together with tools designed according to the requirements of the product(s)/palletizing, respond to each case.

When developing the best solution, aspects such as the type of product, weight, size, number of layers, type and size of pallet or cadence are critical factors. Ease of adaptation and integration with other processes and machines already on the shop floor are also taken into account.

Complete, turnkey palletizing islands, including infeed and outfeed conveyors, vacuum systems, dedicated grippers and safety equipment, are some of the essential components in palletizing applications. Yaskawa robots, dedicated exclusively to this type of application and capable of handling loads of up to 800 kg, are also essential.

Advantages

By using robotics, specialized tools and software, we can make this process more flexible, without compromising its speed and precision.

As a result, the palletizing process will be faster, safer and more efficient, and can be adapted to the rhythm of your production, even for different product types and references.

The result of a good solution is increased productivity, reduced risk of failure, maximized precision and lower operating costs.

This type of complete solution, integrated with the highest standards of control and handling technology, is a specialty of our team.
