The Importance of Automatic Palletizing
With automation on the rise, you have probably heard of palletizing robots, and wondered: what are the main benefits of automated palletizing? The MSK experts will help you to find out in this article.
Make the Workplace a Safer Place
When palletizing by hand, objects can fall or heavy loads have to be carried. An automatic palletizing system reduces these risks, and takes care of employees' health by limiting staff intervention. The result is a reduction in operating costs. Last but not least, the higher speeds and taller pallet loads are achievable with an automatic system which saves considerable time and shipping costs.
Flexibility for Production Changes
Thanks to their modular design, MSK palletizing systems can be easily adapted to different application needs. They can handle glass bottles of various sizes, cardboard boxes, bags, drums and many more. The same palletizing unit can be programmed to handle different product sizes during production changes.
Depending on the flexibility and performance needs MSK application engineers chooses the right main machine out of the conventional palettizer models Semitech, Duotech or Triotech or go for robotic versions based on Fanuc robots.
Likewise, MSK layouts have been designed to take up very little space. This makes it easy to integrate a palettizing cell into your existing line. What's more, thanks to the MSK-developed EMSY HMI, the MSK system can be easily controlled by operators on a day-to-day basis, thanks to a clearly structured interface, 3D images and real-time access to system data.
A Multifunctional System
In addition to palletizing, MSK palletizing solutions are multifunctional, and can perform other functions as required, such as applying bottom sheets or intermediate sheets, not forgetting that a robot can not only palletize, but also depalletize! MSK palletizers can also be fitted with a variety of add-on modules, such as centering frames, tray formers, empty pallet magazines, labelers and much more, to suit a wide range of production and packaging requirements.
The palletizing system can also be used to stabilize your loads individually before palletization and packaging. This is the case with the Looptech machine, which applies a film band around critical parts of the load or over individual layers.
Better Storage Space
Precisely palletized products, followed by a high-quality hooding system, result in highly stable pallets that are easy to stack. In the warehouse, stacking pallets saves considerable space.
