Robotic palletising August 1st 2007 Robotic
Represented in the UK by
Aetna, Euroimpianti's
Skilled Robot 504 is being
used by a Turkish
producer of starch and its
derivatives to palletise
both 25kg and 50kg
paper sacks.
The Robot is equipped
with a mechanical bottom
support finger tool
specially designed for the
sacks, and the gripper is
said to handle the sacks
accurately and gently.
A device on the arm
acts as an indicator to
measure the level of
deposit as sacks and
pallets have variable
tolerances, which the
Robot will compensate
automatically through its
software/control system.
This gripper is designed
to also pick up the pallets
and the slip-sheets. The
palletising system has
been integrated with a
rotary turntable Robopac
stretch wrapper and top
film device to provide
complete protection of
the load against humidity
and dust. More articles from AETNA UK LTD: |
