1. Layer palletizing

With layer palletizing, items might be stacked and moved much more shortly than with a choose–and–place method. By way of programming, there may be not a lot distinction between transferring one field or a number of on the identical time. As soon as a layer has been accomplished, the gripper will transfer the neatly aligned objects over to the pallet in a single motion. The vast majority of our clients use pneumatic grippers designed by our UR+ companions and system integrators. 

Whereas the utmost payload and attain of a cobot guidelines out carrying a number of heavy objects on the identical time, there are nonetheless methods you employ it to implement a layer palletizing utility. For instance, the OmniPack resolution has a ‘magic pack’ choice that automates the method of filling in pallet layers in probably the most optimum approach. There may be additionally scope to make the most of a customized made gripper.
