TOM factory’s robotic palletizer actively lift, change, and multi-cycle active palletizing to meet set requirements. In most of today’s packaging, palletizers are used for goods. Robotic palletizers are machines that perform work automatically, accept human command and correctly run pre-programmed programs. It can act according to the principle program formulated by artificial intelligence technology, and the items are discharged sequentially on the conveyor belt for automatic stacking, and after being rolled out, it is convenient for the forklift to be transported to the warehouse for storage.
Robot palletizer gripper principle
Robotic palletizers mostly perform pick-and-place operations, that is, the robot picks up materials from the conveyor belt and places them in a designated position on the pallet along the motion path. Therefore, according to the position relationship between the robot and the conveyor belt and pallet when completing the palletizing operation, the specific motion trajectory is selected by comprehensively considering the obstacles in the movement process. It is noted that when the robot end effector completes the stacking of cartons at different positions on the pallet, the trajectory taken is fixed, and the coordinates of the end point of the trajectory are different due to the different positions of the carton on the pallet. It can assist or replace people’s repetitive work, such as: production industry, construction industry can be applied.
Main advantages of palletizing robots
(1) The palletizing capacity of the palletizing robot is much higher than that of the traditional palletizer and manual palletizing;
(2) The structure is very simple, the failure rate is low, and it is easy to maintain and repair;
(3) The main components are few, and the maintenance cost is low;
(4) Low power consumption, power consumption is about one-fifth of mechanical palletizer.
(5) The palletizing robot arm can be set in a narrow space, with high site use efficiency and flexible application;
(6) All operations can be completed by hand touch on the control cabinet screen, and the operation is very simple.
(7) The application of the palletizing robot arm is very flexible, and one robot arm can handle different products of up to 6 production lines at the same time. When the product is updated, only new data needs to be entered, recalculated and can be run, without the need for hardware or retrofit settings on the device.
(8) The stacking type and the number of stacking layers can be set arbitrarily, and the stacking type is neat, which is convenient for storage and transportation.
The potential capabilities of palletizers
Palletizing robot is a humanized active logistics and transportation equipment, but also a new type of active equipment that replaces manual operation. It can be equipped with hydraulic lifting and active pallet bin for active operation. Palletizing robots are generally operated in an open environment, it has a separate linkage mechanism, and adopts a straight delivery track, so it is very stable, and the transmission power is also very high. It is in a straight line, only one motor is used, and the palletizing works well. Moreover, the operating range is large, and the performance is stable and good.
There are many products with different standards, from low speed to high speed, so the choice is also wide. Most of the parts are at the bottom, the arm is quite sensitive, and the power consumption is relatively slow, which is both energy-saving and efficient. The position adjustment of the palletizer is also very simple and can be operated directly on the touch screen. If you want to change the specifications, you can easily enter the standard of the new product into the system, which is very convenient.
Now the intelligent palletizer in TOM factory is faster, more accurate and more time-saving, which is an irreplaceable advantage of manual labor. This results in higher efficiency in our production and high reliability even in high-speed operating environments. The operation is very simple, just set the position of objects and pallets, and then design the track and place the robot, which can bring more profits to the company.
