These solutions offer an innovative alternative to conventional layer preparation requiring a divider and layer formation area with static pack-turning device. They can be integrated upstream of any kind of palletizer.
Thanks to these systems we are able to satisfy any kind of market request, both in terms of productivity (from low/average to high speed) and logistics (in line or orthogonal infeed, with high or low level feeding).
Fastlayer
The system can use 1 or 2 anthropomorphic robots mounted in parallel which move continuously and synchronously with the conveyor belt below. The packs are delivered along the layer forming conveyor in single row, appropriately spaced, and the robots work against the flow, orienting and arranging the packs to prepare the layer, according to the selected palletization layout.
The 6-axis robots are mounted above the conveyor, with a forward inclination of 40°, which optimizes the working area.
Active Layer
It is the layer preparation system designed to optimize the medium and low speed palletization plants with orthogonal infeed. The gripping head is installed on linear axes and moves in accordance with the flow of the packs arriving on the below belt chain.
The system is controlled by vector and brushless motor gear.
Considering the latest trends in the beverage market, which demands lighter bottles and the needs of increasingly aggressive marketing that generates a multiplication of formats to be handled, with these solutions, 3 important objectives have been achieved:
1. Transport improvements of some containers and assures extremely delicate handling, in order to avoid any kind of damage to the product.
2. Reduction of change-over times or adaptation to new products.
3. Increased performance with small footprint.
