Robotic system for stacking of polymer canisters with plant protection agent (PPA) of 5 and 10 liters in boxes and further palletizing of corrugated boxes

The line includes a specially designed automatic corrugated box former with a capacity of up to 10 boxes per minute, and the KUKA KR60 industrial robot with a gripper for 5 and 10 liter canisters.

Canisters are grouped on the pickpoint in 2 or 4 depending on their size, the robot grips the entire stack simultaneously and places them into a pre-prepared box. With a second movement, the robot stacks the spacer from the spacer magazine and repeats the cycle.

The box with the canisters goes to automatic sealing, labeling and then to the palletizing area.

To ensure the necessary capacity of the palletizing area, the industrial robot grabs 4 or 5 boxes from the pickpoint, depending on the size of the canisters. In this way, it takes the palletizer robot two movements to palletize each layer.

Once the pallet is full, the palletizer robot takes the next pallet from the stack of pallets on the inlet conveyor and places it on the outlet conveyor of the vacated line.  

The robotic palletizer works simultaneously with three product lines.
