Automatic Bundle Palletizing
When it comes to prepping and palletizing odd-shaped, oversized or other unique products that don't come packaged in cases, bags or buckets, the engineering team at MMCI Robotics shines. Such was the case with these heavy bundles of packaging paper.
Key Benefits
Working with one of the leading manufacturers of packing supplies in the world, we developed a system for binding and palletizing heavy bundles of paper that significantly improved productivity and worker safety while overcoming challenges related to limited space and more.
More Productive
The system not only automated the placement of a top sheet, the binding the of the bundle and the palletizing of the bundles, it used the robot for the pallet dispensing process.
Safer
The greatest benefit of this system is that it eliminates the demanding work associated with binding and handling the heavy bundles.
Space Saving
The small-footprint robotic palletizer design was achieved with an innovative end-of-arm-tool that allowed the robot to pick and place top sheets, lift and place bundles, and even grab and dispense pallets.
Flexibility
The system was engineered to process two different-sized bundles with different top sheets, strapping requirements and pallet configurations.
A Case in Point
Strapping & Stacking
One of the most innovative and successful packaging manufacturers on the planet, tasked us with automating the end-of-line packaging systems for a heavy, bulk paper product line that could not utilize a standard palletizing solution.
Palletizing Extra Tall Pallets
A leading manufacturer of molded fiber egg cartons turned to MMCI to design a highly automated robotic cell capable of stacking various bundles on extra tall pallets.
