DESCRIPTION OF THE CUSTOMER'S SITUATION
One of the reasons for the planned change was the desire to develop and introduce modern technologies and improve the current work model on the production line.
The client wanted to automate the packaging and palletizing process after the bottles were formed by the injection blow molding machine before delivering them to the pad printing machine where the print is applied.
Before the changes were introduced, operators were obliged to be constantly present on the production line and manually pack bottles into cartons, which they then moved to the next stage of production many times during the day.
SOLUTION
We used a palletizing line with a set of modular vaccum and roller conveyors, an additional vertical axis for the robot and an ES5 arm with a set of dedicated pneumatic grippers. As a result, we ensured efficient multi-layer stacking of bottles on a pallet.
Palletizing robots – the most important advantages
Automation of palletizing processes offers numerous advantages for the company - regardless of the industry field it specializes in and what materials are palletized or packed. The most important advantages of palletizing robots include:
– universality of use – in various industries and when packing/palletizing various goods, including cartons, bottles, jars, containers, cans and many others;
