Brenton's Robotic Palletizing System Maximizes Efficiency
FANUC's Authorized System Integrator Brenton designed this robotic palletizing system to handle extremely heavy cases and pails.
How the System Works
First, an infeed conveyor pushes products off a case taper discharge conveyor onto a product accumulation/pail orientation roller conveyor. Product is presented in pairs in the robot pick zone, creating the required picks per the assigned build patterns. A FANUC M-410iC/185 robot equipped with a Joulin vacuum end-of-arm-tool (EOAT) picks up to two cases/pails at a time and places them per the assigned build pattern at the palletizing station. The EOAT also handles slip/layer sheets and pallets. A stack light signals operators when the pallet dispenser or sheet bin need to be replenished.
