Robotic palletizing package

The new PalletPack 460 is a pre-engineered package of proven robotic palletizing components, featuring the new IRB 460 robot designed specifically for high-speed end-of-line palletizing. The compact 4-axis robot has a reach of 2.4 meters and a capacity of 110 kg. The packaged configuration offers integrated hardware with full documentation, significantly reducing overall project costs and engineering set-up time. It will allow integrators to more easily specify and design palletizing systems, and reduce the barriers for end-users to realize the benefits of robotic palletizing automation. Available for either high-speed bag palletizing or compact end-of-line case palletizing, the function package consists of an IRB 460 palletizing robot; a Flex-Gripper end-of-arm tool; an ABB control PLC; a Jokab safety PLC; PalletWare support software; user documentation; and the ABB FlexPendant, featuring an easy-to-use graphical HMI. The programming wizard feature makes it easy for PLC programmers without specific robotic experience to program the system.
