KUKA launches high-speed robotic palletising
A
KUKA Automation + Robotics product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
Sep 5, 2008
KUKA has unveiled its latest, high-speed palletising solution using a standard robot that's capable of rapidly packing 25kg sacks as fast as 24 units a minute.
The high-payload KUKA KR 180PA robot features a lightweight yet robust carbon fibre arm and specially designed gripper that makes it ideal for palletising a wide variety of bulk products such as food processing ingredients, aggregates and chemicals.
The versatile four-axis robot has a working envelope of 3.2m and is capable of stacking euro pallets up to 3m high.
KUKA said its palletising robot can operate for 20,000 working hours before requiring a service that typically only takes around three hours.
As well as palletising, the KR 180PA is also suitable for depalletising tasks involving mixed or unmixed pallets, cardboard or plastic containers.
