Palletizing

Leading ABB’s palletizing offering is the compact IRB 460 – the fastest palletizing robot in the world. The IRB 460 is perfect for end-of-line palletizing and bag palletizing applications. The 4-axis robot is the fastest of its kind, and its small footprint makes it ideal for fitting into existing packing lines.

**Main applications:**
– Palletizing
– De-palletizing
– Material handling

With vacuum layer gripping systems from Schmalz, the production capacity for the automated handling of cardboard, jars, cans, and cells in warehouse and intralogistics is increased. Configurable standard solutions allow a cheap, but also individual solution for a gripping system.

In addition to standard solutions, Schmalz also offers customer-specific system designs for process-reliable handling in palletizing or depalletizing processes in the logistics sector.

With the combination of our proven easy-to-use software and our Pick-it L camera, you can set up a smart automated pallet unloading application in just one day.

Pick-it does not require extensive training and can be operated by anyone. Pick-it finds products of varying sizes and shapes, in matte and glossy colors, and it even keeps working in changing and poor light conditions.

The LBK system detects access or the presence of operators in a dangerous area. In any environmental conditions (dust, smoke, swarf, water aerosols), it guarantees a level of safety never before reached by any other system in the world. The radar waves of the sensor cover the entire dangerous area, creating a 3D protected zone.

Sealing foam and suction pads let you adapt the gripper to the workpiece in the optimum way. The right valve technology ensures the process is safe and efficient. Our selection aid helps you to choose the right sealing elements and valve technology.

**Key Features:**
– Universal gripper with integrated, pneumatic vacuum generation, for handling workpieces regardless of size, geometry, material, and surface
– Handling of workpieces made from various materials
– Handling of porous workpieces, workpieces with gaps or undefined pick-up position
– Mark-free handling of sensitive workpieces such as display glass
– Ideal for use on robots due to its low weight
