What is a column palletizer?
Column palletizer is an automated equipment mainly used to stack products on the production line (such as cartons, bagged materials, etc.) on pallets according to a preset stacking pattern. Its core component is a vertical column, with a robot arm installed on the column to realize the grabbing, transportation and palletizing of materials through precise motion control.
Advantages of column palletizer
Efficiency: Compared with manual palletizing, column palletizers work more efficiently and can significantly increase production line productivity.
Stability: Using PLC control system, the movement is precise, the palletizing quality is stable, and the risk of product damage is reduced.
Flexibility: The palletizing program can be flexibly adjusted according to different product size and palletizing requirements.
Safety: Reduces the risk of manual handling and improves production safety.
Save labor costs: Replace manual palletizing and reduce labor costs.
Composition of column palletizer
Column: As the supporting structure of the robot, it ensures the stable operation of the robot.
Robot body: performs grabbing, carrying and palletizing actions.
End effector: Choose different end effectors according to product shape and weight, such as vacuum suction cups, grippers, etc.
Control system: Controls the movement of the robot and the entire palletizing process.
Conveying system: Conveys products into the working area of the palletizer.
Application areas of column palletizers
Column palletizers are widely used in food and beverage, daily chemical, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries for palletizing various types of packaging materials, such as cartons, bagged materials, bottled materials, etc.
Things to note when choosing a column palletizer
Load Capacity: Choose the appropriate load capacity based on product weight.
Work scope: Choose a suitable work scope based on the layout of the production line and the palletizing space.
Accuracy requirements: Choose an appropriate control system according to the product’s requirements for palletizing accuracy.
Reliability: Choose equipment with high brand recognition and reliable quality.
