Robotic palletizing line for construction mix bags

A low-cost design for a robotic line for automation of bag palletizing for various formats of pallets. Pallets are brought into the palletizing area by the operator. Palletizing takes place automatically according to the stacking pattern set from the control panel.

The industrial robot’s gripper allows handling bags of various sizes and weights up to 50 kg. The adjustment to the new format is done manually by changing the bag width. The robot’s gripper adjustment automatically matches the selected stacking format. If there is a discrepancy between the stacking format and the gripper settings, the operator receives a message on the control panel about such a discrepancy.

The programming for the new product type is carried out on special software and transferred remotely to the robot without the need to reprogram it.

The control system allows the operator to reject the current bag and transfer it to a previously prepared reject area.

The maximum palletizing capacity is 800 bags per hour.
