BEUMER robotpac automatic articulated palletising robot

BEUMER’s robotpac, a space-saving, fully automatic articulated robot, is able to perform even complex palletising and de-palletising tasks reliably and efficiently.

For each type of packaged good, the company has designed a suitable gripping system that can be changed flexibly. 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 robotpac 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 robotpac 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 robotpac 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 of the building material industry.
