Increased palletizing speeds can be achieved by picking up full layers of the product. In this two-robot solution, the first robot configures the layer on a transfer table and the second robot picks up the full layer and places it onto the pallet. The ABB IRB 260 four-axis robot is used to align full layers of product onto a transfer table.

?Layer forming is done with an ABB IRB 260 four axis robot onto a transfer table.

?The ABB IRB 660 four axis robot is used with a vacuum gripper to pick up and palletize full layers of product.

?The vacuum gripper can also place slipsheets between layers on the pallet load.

?Speeds of 60 cases per minute are possible with the full layer palletizing solution.

?PickMaster 5 software makes it easy to program the robot for all the palletizing tasks.

?The system can be equipped with a laser guided vehicle to bring empty pallets to the station and take away full pallets.
