Robotic Palletizing

October 1, 2008

Comments With as few as one to three menu or button selections, the new EasyPallet pendant from Motoman, Dayton, OH, creates a suite of robot palletizing jobs that are full-featured with automatic vectoring to eliminate box clipping when building tight patterns; automatic asynchronous placement to save cycle time; user-selectable job formats; and job customization.

EasyPallet’s more than 60 canned palletizing patterns are independent of box sizes. This allows a box size to be applied to any stacking pattern to create a unique layer configuration. Patterns adjust to changing box and pallet sizes, saving programming time. Layers can be stacked on top of one another, resulting in a column-stacked pallet, or they can be rotated for an interlocked pallet. EasyPallet supports vacuum-style grippers capable of picking one to four boxes stacked end-to-end or side-to-side.
