Operation

Robust Fanuc robots are at the core of these versatile systems. Filled bags, boxes or crates enter a palletizing cell and are then picked from a suitable conveyor to be stacked in any configuration you choose. The filled pallet can then be removed from the cell with a forklift truck via light activated entry guards or discharged on an automatic takeaway roller system for storage or removal.

Control System

The Robot Cell control system utilises the latest PLC technology. It incorporates a very user friendly, color operator interface (HMI Screen) which has a clear display and powerful new features. These include all functions needed to operate the system providing unlimited palletizing programs which can be pre-set for various pack types and sizes. Other features include an ASI communication system and Modem option for remote diagnostics or editing.

Packing Speeds

Packing speeds depend on many factors such as product stability and cell layout. Typical speeds for an optimized single gripper system is up to 1500 cycles per hour or 25 cycles per minute. This can potentially be increased by upgrading to the Double Gripper option.

Safety Requirements

All systems are supplied with approved safety fencing with access gates if required. Smartscan entry guards and a safety key lock system, prevent operation with gates open.

Pack and Pallet Specification

All box, tray and sack sizes can be palletized, depending on pallet overlap and overhang requirements. All pallet sizes can be used as long as they are of consistent size and quality.

Planning In

All robot systems are designed for the space and environment they are to be used in. As well as speed and product requirements there are safety aspects to be considered. Potential systems require a full site survey and careful planning to provide the perfect solution to the customers needs. Spiroflow Systems are experts in palletizing and have extensive knowledge of this specialized field.
