Stacking and Palletizing

This project provides custom material handling of  plastic totes for use in the food industry. Totes are delivered to the line, collapsed, and collated into stacks. The stacks are then transferred robotically to staged pallets and conveyed from the system.

System Features

• Throughput: 2000 totes/hr
• Flexible part size capability
• Part reject capability servicing upstream inspection
• Configurable finished pallet quantity

System Technologies

• Custom-designed pneumatically-driven mechanical manipulators
• Servo-driven stacking mechanism
• Automatic custom-designed pallet dispenser
• Robotic integration (4-axis palletizing robot)
• PLC-based host control
