Hybrid palletizing system with gantry robots for orienting the objects and articulated robot for overall layer handling
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper presents works performed by the authors in the field of developing new concepts and virtual prototyping new model of hybrid palletizing system. Along development of the palletizing system virtual prototype in order for achieving system layout optimization new concepts have been implemented. From this point of view most important features have successively targeted development of: the modular design of the whole system and its specific subsystems / components, the implementation of two gantry robots for object orienting along layer forming conveyor, the modular layer compacting system integrated with the layer forming conveyor, the special end-effector for overall layer manipulation by a high payload articulated arm robot, the modular pallet stacking and dispensing system, the modular overall conveying system for objects and pallets, and the modular pallet stretching system.
