This high-precision automated cell is specifically designed for the efficient unloading of canisters from Euro pallets onto packaging lines.
Using a state-of-the-art multi-jointed robot and the intuitive Flex-pal control software, it optimizes production flows while eliminating strenuous manual handling.
Thanks to its ultra-compact design and versatility, it is ideally suited to the needs of the chemical and lubricants industries, which require high throughput and maximum flexibility.
Full automation: Robotic unloading of canisters to continuously feed production lines.
Increased productivity: Improved overall performance of the packaging line by eliminating downtime associated with material handling.
Waste management: Automatic removal of the interleaving sheets between product layers onto a dedicated pallet.
MSDs and Occupational Hazards: Completely eliminates the manual handling of heavy and repetitive loads by operators.
Flexibility in container sizes: Ability to handle a wide range of containers, including large sizes (XL), without the need for complex tooling.
Uninterrupted operation: The software allows production to resume immediately on a partially filled pallet without the need for a time-consuming reset.
Loading: The operator places a pallet of canisters (maximum height 1.60 m) inside the compartment through the secure sliding doors.
Preparation: The protective films and corners are removed by hand before the automatic cycle begins.
High-performance gripping: The robot picks up the canisters in rows of four using its intelligent suction cup system.
Precise positioning: A positioning plate ensures that each product is perfectly aligned during pickup.
Material Handling: The products are placed on a production conveyor attached to the enclosure, equipped with guide rails.
Ejection of divider sheets: Once the layer has been emptied, the robot ejects the divider sheet to access the next row.
Speed rate: Up to 25 canisters per minute.
Footprint: Optimized compact design (3.6 m x 2.5 m).
Types of products processed: Symmetrical or asymmetrical plastic canisters.
Accepted materials: Plastic.
Control: Flex-pal software for the independent creation of new unloading plans.
Connectivity: Secure remote access module for immediate technical support.
