Floor panel palletising April 1st 2007 Three fully automated palletising systems, designed for stacking 600mm square access floor panels, are being installed at the Kingspan plant in Hull, by process automation specialist Barr & Paatz. The Totnes company modelled the customdesigned cells on its Cosimir 3D simulation software and employed finite element analysis to perfect the construction of the special vacuum pick-up tool. Each cell incorporates Mitsubishi's latest 12kg class of 6-axis articulated robot, the RV-12SL, to offload the incoming 11kg floor panels and stack them onto pallets, inverting every other one for quality control.
