Auto palletising needn’t cost a packet
February 1st 2005

Kosme says its PAL and AXO range of palletisers are aimed at mid-volume package and container companies who wish to automate – without heavy investment.

It says the Kosme AXO 4 palletising robot, for example, is a purposedesigned, universal system that uses four axes of motion to transfer containers or cartons from a product infeed conveyor to one, two or three pallets, according to a pre-programmed positioning scheme. The AXO 4’s gripping head is capable of multiple carton pick-up.

According to Kosme the rigidity offered by the heavy duty frame, in combination with the smooth motion provided by the system’s brushless motors ensures accurate positioning, soft handling and quiet operation.

For semi-automatic operations that may in future require fully automatic palletising, Kosme believes its PAL MEC-ARM/SP machine will fulfil most company’s criteria.

Initially configured to use static floor mounted pallets, it can be uprated to include automatic delivery of empty pallets from a pallet magazine, automated layer card insertion and full automatic integration with a pallet stretch wrapper.
