Two New Releases In Response to the Rising Use of Palletizing Robots

Over the previous few years, it’s been unimaginable to disregard the rising development towards robotic palletizing to unravel labor scarcity woes and preserve enterprise continuity. This is a really constructive transfer because it implies that corporations are more and more recognizing the impression of automation and robots on their enterprise.

As extra corporations flip to palletizing robots, we’ve additionally noticed new and attention-grabbing use circumstances we hadn’t accounted for once we first launched the Robotiq Palletizing Solution.

Operators have been searching for a palletizing resolution that can be utilized in a greater variety of conditions. They search to extra successfully handle a constantly rising array of merchandise and packaging varieties. Flexibility is essential.

At Robotiq, we at all times attempt to make robotic deployment as simple as attainable. We don’t need individuals to should put in all of the exhausting work to create customized robotic options if an off-the-shelf resolution can match.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the discharge of our next-generation palletizing gripper and palletizing software program function.

Say good day to PowerPick and multipick

The PowerPick gripper and the multipick software program function are each designed to increase the vary of purposes that may profit from our Palletizing Solution, each in payload and throughput.

PowerPick can carry heavy circumstances of as much as 11.5 kg (25 lbs)!

The multipick function means that you can decide up two or extra packing containers at a time. This makes it the proper resolution to match manufacturing traces the place volumes are larger. In some circumstances, this can lead to a 100% enhance (or extra!) in throughput functionality.

With these new releases, we anticipate much more companies will discover that our Palletizing Solution works for them.

PowerPick: The highly effective gripper for sturdy palletizing duties

PowerPick is a vacuum gripper designed particularly for palletizing functions. It provides flexibility that can assist you handle a variety of field sizes, shapes, weights, and packaging supplies. It can be dependable when uncovered to much less managed situations akin to humidity and high-quality mud.

Some of its attributes embrace:

• Load Capacity: PowerPick carries heavy masses and helps circumstances of as much as 11.5 kg (25 lbs).

• Adaptability: PowerPick provides 46 totally different dealing with choices, which considerably reduces the necessity for customized grippers while you deal with numerous field varieties.

• Gripper Modes: Single, Dual and even Quadruple Gripper. This means that you can mount a number of PowerPick models on the identical arm, rising throughput for small and light-weight packing containers.

• Installation: Setup is easy and assembling components solely requires an Allen key.

When coupled with the PowerPick, the Robotiq Palletizing Solution covers extra software situations and makes it simpler for companies to handle numerous manufacturing line necessities throughout vegetation or areas.

Multipick: Adding extra flexibility to your picks

Multipick is a brand new function that improves the velocity and suppleness of your palletizing operation. It unlocks larger throughput on the finish of the road, it doesn’t matter what pallet sample you utilize. Multipick additionally covers multi-box patterns, which suggests you possibly can have two totally different merchandise on a single pallet.

Multipick advantages span:

• Performance: Multipick means that you can enhance the throughput of your palletizing operations by choosing a number of packing containers concurrently.

• Flexibility: It fosters choosing a wider vary of palletizing patterns with extra flexibility.

• Label Orientation: It helps label orientation, which isn’t at all times attainable with different options.

The potentialities constructed into multipick to hurry up manufacturing traces and in addition advance-equip you for future wants are large. For instance, with a PowerPick and a Quadruple Gripper, you possibly can go as much as 4 grippers with 2 small, equal payload packing containers every. That is an 8-box decide abruptly!

What clients requested for and the way we delivered

Why launch the PowerPick gripper and the multipick function? Because companies are greedy the benefits of end-of-line automation and have been asking for methods to do much more with their palletizing resolution.

Among the objects on their wish-list, which these two releases ship on:

• Higher throughput when it comes to velocity and payload.

• A higher diploma of management over packing containers in a number of decide conditions.

• A typical gripper that may decide heavier and porous cardboard packing containers.

• An entire robotic palletizing resolution that requires little-to-no customization.

• Higher throughputs, even with advanced pallet patterns.

• A faster deployment time with much less requirement for third-party parts.

With PowerPick and multipick, we have now responded to those wants whereas including to the pliability of our present Palletizing Solution.

Find out if PowerPick or multipick is best for you

We hope that these two additions to our Palletizing Solution assist much more producers profit from robotic palletizing.

We additionally hope you’ll get in contact to find out whether or not both or each improvements might improve your palletizing operations, and learn to get began integrating them in your day-to-day. In the meantime, strive the configurator and see how each options prolong the vary of purposes match.
