What are the types of palletizing robots

What is the working principle of palletizing robots? Take a look!

Palletizing robot, is the product of the organic combination of machinery and computer programs. It provides higher productivity for modern production. Palletizing machines have quite a wide range of applications in the palletizing industry. Palletizing robot greatly saves labor and space. Palletizing robots operate flexibly and accurately, quickly and efficiently, with high stability and high operating efficiency.

Palletizing robot system using patented technology of coordinate robot installation occupies a flexible and compact space. The idea of being able to build an energy efficient fully automatic block molding machine production line within a small footprint becomes a reality.

Working Principle:

The flat plate workpiece meets the requirements of the pallet a layer of workpieces, the flat plate and workpieces move forward until the pallet vertical surface. The upper blocking rod down, the other three parties positioning blocking rod start clamping, at this time the flat plate reset. Each workpiece drops to the pallet plane, the pallet plane and the bottom surface of the plate is 10mm apart, the pallet drops a workpiece height. The above is repeated until the pallet is stacked to meet the set requirements. The palletizing robot is equipped with a special custom-designed multifunctional gripper, which allows the robot to use vacuum suction cups to securely grip and transfer boxes, regardless of their size or weight.

Features of palletizing robots

1. Simple structure and few parts. Therefore, the failure rate of parts is low, the performance is reliable, the maintenance is simple,

The inventory of parts required is small.

2, covers an area of less. It is favorable to the arrangement of production lines in the customer's plant, and can leave a large storage area. The palletizing robot can be set up in a narrow space, which can be used effectively.

3. Strong applicability. When the size, volume, shape of the customer's products and the external dimensions of the pallet are changed, it is only necessary to make a slight modification on the touch screen, which will not affect the normal production of the customer. The mechanical palletizer is quite troublesome to change and even impossible to realize.

4, low energy consumption. Usually the power of mechanical palletizer is about 26KW, while the power of palletizing robot is about 5KW. It greatly reduces the running cost of customers.

5, all controls can be operated on the control cabinet screen, the operation is very simple.

6, only need to locate the grabbing point and placement point, teaching method is simple and easy to understand.

What are the types of palletizing robots

1, according to the structure

Based on the different mechanical structure, palletizing robots include the following three forms: Cartesian lug type, rotary joint type and gantry lifting frame type.

1) Cartesian palletizing robot: It is mainly composed of four parts: column, X-arm, Y-arm and gripper, and completes the palletizing of materials with four degrees of freedom (including three moving joints and one rotating joint). This form of palletizing mechanism is simple in construction, the body is more rigid, and the movable weight is larger, which is suitable for the palletizing of heavier materials.

②Rotary joint robot: the palletizer rotates around the body, including four rotary joints: waist joint, shoulder joint, elbow joint and wrist joint. This form of palletizer is programmed by means of demonstration, that is, the operator holds a demonstration box and controls the robot to move according to the prescribed action, so the motion process is stored in the memory and the motion process can be reproduced later when it is run automatically. This robot has a small body and a large range of motion, and can palletize one or several pallets at the same time, enabling it to work flexibly on a variety of product lines.

3) Gantry crane type: The robot arm is mounted on a gantry crane, called gantry palletizing robot, which has a large working range and is capable of gripping heavier materials.

2, according to the stacking requirements

①Single layer palletizing robot

Single layer structure of the palletizing robot is relatively basic, mainly by the conveyor belt to convey the material over, and so on to reach the steering mechanism, can be adjusted in accordance with the direction of the provisions of the direction of the readiness of the finished product, you can enter the layer of the conveyor mechanism. As long as the products are arranged closely in this place according to the set arrangement order, then the arranged products will be moved to the next station through the conveyor roller, so that the stacking operation of the palletizing robot will be completed.

②Multi-layer Palletizing Robot

There are single-layer corresponding multi-layer, which is more complicated than single-layer palletizing robot. We can see that the pallets of the multilayer palletizing robot are under the conveyor belt, and can still be carried out left and right for certain. When the machine is stacking, the materials will be neatly arranged on the pallet, and then the pallet will be set at the load left limit position. When the material conveyed by the conveyor belt is blocked by the baffle plate, it is exactly arranged in a row. Then the pallet moves right, and then like the above steps, the material will be arranged in a row. By analogy, the height of the lifting platform of the palletizing robot will drop one layer for each additional layer of material until the material is piled up to a certain height and then stop.

③Arrangement Palletizing Robot

This kind of palletizing robot conveys the materials in rows, and the pusher plate puts the conveyed materials on the collecting table. Then it moves to the left and pushes from the bottom to the top to stack three layers of materials together. In this process, there are inclined devices to ensure the smooth completion of the process, and the special characteristics of the collector table will also help the palletizing robot to complete the stacking.
