What is a palletizing robot?

PalletizingRobotIs a kind of machine device used to automatically perform the work, in use it can accept the command of people, but also can correctly run the pre-arranged program, according to the useArtificial IntelligenceThe principle program action formulated by the technology, the objects that have been loaded into containers are placed on pallets and pallets (wood and plastic) according to a certain arrangement, and are automatically stacked, which can be stacked in multiple layers and then pushed out to facilitate forklift transportation to warehouses for storage. Its purpose is to assist or replace human repetitive work, such as: production, construction can be applied.
The palletizing robot can be integrated in any production line to provide intelligent, robotic and networked production sites, and can realize palletizing logistics for a variety of operations in the beer, beverage and food industries. It is widely used in cartons, plastic boxes, bottles, bags, barrels, film package products and filling products. It is matched with the three-in-one filling line and palletizing all kinds of bottles, cans and bags. The automatic operation of the palletizer is divided into automatic box feeding, box rotation, sub-arrangement, stacking, shifting, lifting, pallet feeding, stacking, stacking and other steps.
Palletizing robot gripper principle
The palletizing robot performs most of the grasping and placing operations, that is, the robot grabs the material from the conveyor belt and places it on the designated position on the pallet along the movement path. Therefore, according to the position relationship between the robot and the conveyor belt and the pallet when the palletizing operation is completed, and the obstacle situation in the movement process is comprehensively considered, the "door" shape movement trajectory is selected. It is noted that when the robot end effector completes the stacking of cartons at different positions on the pallet, the trajectories are all in the shape of "door", and the coordinates of the end points of the trajectories are different only due to the different positions of the cartons on the pallet.
The so-called palletizing is to stack materials according to a certain mode according to the idea of integrated unitization, so as to realize the logistics activities such as storage, handling, loading and unloading, transportation and so on. Compared with the traditional manual palletizing and gantry palletizing machine, palletizing robot has been gradually applied to various fields because of its high production efficiency, small footprint, large movement flexibility and low labor intensity.
Commonly used palletizing robot hand grip
Clamping claw type manipulator claw: mainly used for high-speed code bag;
· Clamp type manipulator claw: mainly suitable for box palletizing;
Vacuum suction manipulator claw: mainly applicable to the stacking of objects that can be sucked;
· Mixed grab manipulator claw: mainly applicable to the stackable objects that can be sucked;
· Hybrid grabbing manipulator claw: suitable for cooperative grabbing and placing of several stations.
When using palletizing robots, one important thing to consider is how the robot grabs a product. Vacuum grippers are the most common end of arm tools (EOAT). They are relatively inexpensive, easy to operate, and can efficiently load most loads. However, vacuum grippers can also encounter problems in certain applications, such as substrates with porous surfaces, flexible packages with liquid contents, or packages with uneven surfaces.
Palletizing robot classification
1. Division according to structure
According to the different mechanical structure, the palletizing robot includes the following three forms: flute ear type, rotary joint type and gantry crane type.
① flute ear palletizing robot: mainly consists of four parts: column, X-arm, Y-arm and gripper, with four degrees of freedom (including three moving joints and a rotating joint) to complete the palletizing of materials. This type of palletizing machine has simple structure, strong rigidity and large weight, and is suitable for palletizing heavier materials.
② Rotary joint robot: The palletizer rotates around the body, including four rotary joints: waist joint, shoulder joint, elbow joint and wrist joint. This form of palletizing machine is programmed by teaching, that is, the operator holds the teaching box and controls the robot to move according to the specified action, so the movement process is stored in the memory, and the movement process can be reproduced when it is running automatically. The robot has a small body and a large range of motion, and can simultaneously perform one or several pallets at the same time. It can flexibly and flexibly correspond to the work of a variety of product production lines.
③ Gantry crane type: the robot arm mounted on the gantry crane is called gantry palletizing robot. This palletizing robot has a large working range and can grab heavier materials.
