Midwest Engineered Systems used robotic integration to design a system with the ability to palletize 80 cases or more per minute.
The Challenge
​
-
Palletize multiple sizes of corrugated boxes with one robotic automation system
-
The robotic integration would need no product changeover
-
Product rates of up to 80 boxes per minute
-
The automation system would have the ability to produce multiple pallet patterns
-
Slip sheet handling
-
Pallet dispensing
-
Robotic integration of an automatic stretch wrapping system
The Solution
The following industrial automation methods, components and technologies were implemented and integrated to provide a comprehensive robotic automation solution:
-
Fanuc robotic palletizing solution (PalletPRO)
-
Dynamic end of arm tool designed for case variety (vacuum)
-
Activated Roller Belt (ARB) row forming in-feed conveyor
-
MWES Model PD1000 pallet dispenser
-
Custom integrated chain driven live roller (CDLR) pallet conveyor system
-
Slip sheet storage rack
-
MWES dropped box manual recovery system
-
Integrated automatic stretch wrapping system
