Two FANUC M-410iB palletizing loose and bundled cases with light bulbs in a fully automated system. The system handles about 35 cases per minute. Bar codes are scanned on the boxes to determine what boxes are next and which pallet they should go on. The robots handle a large variety of case sizes, including bundled / strapped cases. A patented servo gripper uses an auxiliary axis on the robot to adjust the center distances of the suction cups on the fly in order to pick up the different size cases. |
