The requirement

Automatically feeding the clusterer.

The project required clusters to be inserted automatically into the clusterer, coordinating depalletizing and loading within the line.

The solution

Two custom robotic applications, one continuous flow.

Forpac developed a custom robotic depalletizer and a custom robotic loader to pick the clusters and automatically feed them into the clusterer.

  1. 01

    Depalletizing

    The first robot picks clusters from the infeed configuration.

  2. 02

    Transfer

    Clusters are transferred towards the loading stage.

  3. 03

    Automatic loading

    The second robot inserts the clusters into the clusterer.

Outcome

Robotic feeding for the clusterer.

The configuration with the custom robotic depalletizer and loader was verified during testing for the cluster handling required by the line.
