Smurfit Westrock PMA Robot Palletisers are designed to meet modern factory automation production environments where space is a constraint and the need for potential future expansion is a consideration. Benefits include: small footprint, low cost, high specification, modular expandability and fast payback.
Smart software and robotic factory automation maximises production while reducing costly downtime and repurposes labour.
Smurfit Westrock PMA Robot Palletisers use efficient KUKA robot cells to perform almost any palletising process.
Our robot palletisers can lift and manoeuvre up to 1000kg of product with the same speed and precision as a 1kg product, without compromising on the accuracy of the movement.
The various end-of-arm-tooling styles, or end effectors, allow for a quick change over of palletising patterns, and numerous layer configurations.
When selecting a robot palletiser system, the pallet pattern, product type, product orientation, product speed and system layout, will all be factors needing attention to suit the application.
A single cell robot can operate at up to 20 cycles per minute, depending on product and gripper selection.
The products may be picked in multiples to achieve the required palletisation speeds in accordance with the pallet pattern. The basic gripper is a vacuum, rotating system, and other grippers are available.
The robotic palletiser machine’s modular construction will allow you to start with a compact cell which can be loaded and unloaded with a simple pallet truck.
The modular design allows conveyors, layer pad and pallet dispensers as required and ultimately, automatic stretch wrapping to be added.
Our Robotic palletisers can load both Chep and Euro pallets making it a superior integrated solution.
The secure robotic cell and safety guards reduce the risk of injuries and human error maximizing performance.
Smurfit Westrock PMA pallet pattern software allows customers to easily configure their own pallet patterns.
Smurfit Westrock PMA robot palletisers are UK designed and built for 24/7 operating environments, with full diagnostic system and Ethernet connectivity for remote support as standard.
