Palletizing plays a major role across manufacturing, food and beverage, logistics, daily chemist, packaging, etc. The process involves stacking items neatly on pallets for safe transport and storage. However, it presents difficulties in maintaining high output and quality levels. Workers become tired and less productive over time and face safety risks in complex environments, while traditional palletizers lack flexibility. An intelligent solution is a cobot palletizer – a collaborative robot that optimizes palletizing efficiency.
A cobot palletizer provides solutions to the following issues.
For manual palletizing, productivity tends to decrease over long shifts. This is because operators get tired both physically and mentally from repetitive tasks. Over time, speeds decline and quality can suffer.
A cobot palletizer ensures consistent high productivity throughout operations. It can work for hours at a stretch without breaks. At the same time, it palletizes items at a steady, brisk pace. This reliable output over 24/7 runtime optimizes palletizing capacity to the maximum.
Manual palletizing exposes workers to injury risks. Some examples include getting hit by moving boxes, overexerting from lifting heavy loads, ergonomic stress, and suffering falls from ladders.
A palletizing cobot eliminates these concerns. It can securely collaborate with humans without any safety fences. Intelligent sensors and controls allow it to adapt its speed and movements based on operator proximity. The result is an ultimate protection.
Industrial palletizers often lack the versatility to handle variable product sizes and pack formats. Reconfiguring them is time-consuming and costly.
In contrast, a cobot palletizer provides quick reprogramming through easy offline and online adjustments. It can be redeployed within an hour to new palletizing stations.
Cobot palletizers are cost-effective in the long term in spite of their relatively high initial cost. This is because they help reduce labor costs, increase efficiency, and lower operating expenses.
The S Heavy Payload Robot is one of our most powerful palletizing assistants. Its key features include:
Payload
With an impressive payload range (20kg~35kg), the S Heavy Payload Robot can dependably palletize bulk and heavy items with ease. This allows our customers to efficiently handle a wider variety of boxes on their production lines. There’s no concern of compromising on throughput with collaborative robot palletizing. The robot’s superior lifting capacity mitigates worries about pallet and package weight restrictions.
Speed
This robot offers swift palletizing at 13 boxes/minute using a single suction gripper. It reaches an incredible 24 boxes/minute when equipped with a dual suction gripper. Customers can optimize their throughput greatly. They can do this by selecting the right end-of-arm tooling for the parts handled. With multiple velocity profiles, the robot also smoothly adjusts its pace based on package size.
Reach
The robot boasts a sizable working radius of 1650-1800mm and 2.2m height. It provides extensive reach to cover densely packed product configurations. It can also cover irregularly shaped pallet configurations effectively. This extensive range makes it suitable for various warehouse, factory, and logistics applications.
Ease of Use
Through networked graphical interfaces, operators find it very simple to program and control the robot. They can do this via a pad, PC, or other device. Flexible tools like manual guidance and drag-and-drop workflows minimize programming time. Remote monitoring and troubleshooting also prove invaluable.
Palletizing demands continue to evolve rapidly across industries. As such, a reliable cobot palletizer presents an optimum choice to maximize efficiency sustainably. It can handle payloads safely while minimizing downtime. At Han’s Robot, we manufacture advanced cobot palletizers to deliver uninterrupted palletizing.
