The machine features a sturdy rotating column with a rigid horizontal arm connected to it that can slide vertically along the column. The horizontal arm has a bag pick-up pincer mounted on it that slides along it, rotating around its vertical axis.The machine takes the bags one at a time from the roller conveyor on which they arrive and places them at the point assigned by the program.The horizontal arm descends to the necessary height so that the pincer can pick up the bags from the bag infeed roller conveyor and then it ascends to permit free rotation of the main column.
The pincer traverses along the arm and rotates around its axis to place the bag in the position assigned by the programmed palletising pattern.
The arm is positioned at the required height and the pincer opens to place the bag on the pallet being formed. At this point, the machine returns to the starting point and is ready for a new cycle.
The special construction solution gives the single-column robot palletisers unique features:
The machine features a PLC-controlled operating system.
Through special programs, the machine can perform virtually any type of palletising program.
The format and program changes are carried out automatically and very quickly.
The single-column robot palletiser comes complete with safety devices compliant with current international standards.
