Challenge
The palletizing system had been installed for five years but had never operated automatically. The robot frequently triggered alarms and failed to perform its function.
Solution
Following a detailed analysis of the area, we identified anomalies that prevented proper system operation:
Lightened the robot setup.
Replaced the handling system, which was too heavy for a 12 kg payload robot.
Optimized programming to enhance the carton interlayer system.
Removed the robot’s paint and applied a zinc coating for better rust protection.
Key technical data
Lightweight handling system.
The robot operates automatically, albeit at the limits of its capacity.
System performance: When continuously fed, it places 7 boxes per minute.
Managed goods type: 4 box formats with different weights.
