Robot Palletising

Fully automated palletising systems incorporating ABB Robot palletisers with various conveying as well as pallet accumulation, pallet magazines, pallet wrapping and slip sheet applicators.

Our automated systems use the latest ABB technology in robotics to ensure efficiency and reliability; the systems are capable of drastically improving the efficiency of any production line. All of our systems are designed with your needs in mind to suit your bag/product type and designed to operate in the most intricate and complex spaces. Customers are able to visualise what their site design is via CAD layout drawings.

All of our robots are housed inside cells that include the latest technology in safety, including fixed mesh guards, and light guarding to prohibit entry to robot. Any access into the system will be protected by Fortress Key switches insuring the highest level of safety for your workers.

ABB robots are placed within cells that utilise the latest safety systems that meet British standards. The safety features include fixed guarding, fortress interlocked operator door and 1 set of light barriers. Our latest robots used for palletising systems are the ABB IRB 460, the worlds fastest palletizing robots, out-performing the closest rival by 15 per cent and capable of up to 2,190 cycles an hour.

Principle of operation

An empty pallet is placed onto the pallet loading section by an operator. Boxes & bags are transferred into the palletising cell via bag handling conveyors. Retro reflective sensors detect the bag or box in position on the pickup conveyor and the robot arm glides into position to pick up the bag or box. Bags and boxes are then stacked on the pallet. Once a pallet is full all bag handling conveyors stop and the robot waits for the pallet to be removed by an operator before it begins its next cycle.

RMGroup provide the perfect solution for those looking to further automate their manual packaging systems. The 2-on-the-floor palletising system serves as an increased output system for higher production throughputs. As standard the system includes new or used ABB robot palletisers with gripper head, Pick up conveyor and 2 pallet loading sections, allowing more time to replace pallets reducing stopping frequencies of the robot.

Our palletising cells are provided with the latest safety systems that meet British standards. Safety cells include fixed guarding, fortress interlocked operator door and 2 set of light curtain barriers.

RMGroup has been the largest ABB robot system integrator for the past 3/4 years and dominates the palletising and general industry market. As for bag filling systems, we are one of the largest privately owned manufacturers.

Empty pallets are placed onto both the pallet loading sections. Bags are transferred into the palletising cell, bags are then stacked onto the pallet. Once a pallet is full the robot will continue to fill the remaining pallet until both are full.
