Gripper assembly for enhanced robotic palletising
A motorised bag gripper assembly is the latest innovative solution to emerge from the Chronos Richardson comprehensive research and development programme
The bag gripper has 4 axis mobility (longitudinal, transverse and vertical movement, plus rotation), taking the bags from the feeding conveyor and depositing them on the pallet according to the pre-selected programme.
The bag pusher movement is controlled by a pneumatic cylinder and the gripper rotation / pusher direction allows each bag to be deposited close to the previous bag, producing a more stable palletised load.
An in-built Operator Interface Panel allows for regular status check of the RP500, with the operator being able to review the selected programme and in-built bag counter.
The palletising layer format can also be selected from a list of programmes or it can be directly accessed from the operator panel.
Designed to achieve the benefits of traditional and robotic palletising techniques the RP500 is supplied with floor mounted empty pallet guide plates and interlocked safety fences / barriers.
