Palletizing Boxes using Comau PAL-180-3.1

This application is a solution that uses the Comau PAL-180-3.1 to palletize heavy beverage boxes.

When humans repeatedly move large and heavy objects, it places a significant strain on the musculoskeletal system and cannot be sustained for long periods. On the other hand, large articulated robots are suitable for moving large and heavy objects as they can quickly move and stack items in desired positions.

Components

Robot	Robot Comau PAL-180-3.1: 4-axis articulated, payload 180kg, reach 3,100mm, weight 1,213kg, repeatability ±0.1 mm

Workflow

STEP 1.	Boxes to be palletized are aligned via conveyor.
STEP 2.	Palletizing the boxes using a pneumatic gripper.
STEP 3.	Repeat until one layer is stacked.
STEP 4.	Once a layer is stacked, pick up a paper sheet with a vacuum gripper and place it on top of the box layer.
STEP 5.	Repeat the previous process
