BEUMER robotpac articulated palletising robot

Designed to perform even complex palletising and de-palletising tasks reliably and efficiently, BEUMER’s robotpac is a space-saving, fully automatic articulated robot, for which the company has designed suitable gripping systems that can be changed flexibly for different types of packaged goods. An additional tool changer allows the fully automatic use of multiple gripping systems that can be operated from a single robot working area.

Grippers include: a fork gripper for palletising bagged goods and cardboard boxes; a finger gripper for palletising bagged goods; a parallel gripper for palletising cardboard boxes and other dimensionally stable containers with parallel side walls; and a suction gripper that handles all goods with suctionable surfaces.

The robot offers precision and availability, as well as gentle product handling. An ultrasonic system provides accurate measures of the stacking height, making it possible to calculate the exact placing position of the packaged goods and stack these precisely and carefully for optimal stack configuration.

Regulated by complex control mechanisms, the robot can stack packaged goods of variable dimensions on one pallet. Individual programs cover all packing patterns.

According to the company, the machine is easy to maintain and very quiet. Equipped with an additional drive axle and an integrated motor connected to the control system, the robot is freely movable on a guide rail. Consequently, it can be used in distribution centres for order-picking tasks.

The robotpac is claimed to be reliable even in dusty environments typical of packing plants and the building material industry.
