Fastest throughput and heaviest payload for corrugated cases and trays
AIDCO International has partnered with FEON Srl to provide packaging plants a truly multi-functional palletizer with the ability to build both bulk and case pallets at the same time, using the same EOAT. The patented Rotocargo system allows operations to automate using the flexibility and technology of robotics, yet build layered pallets of products as fast as conventional equipment. This innovative technology provides faster turn-around for simultaneously palletizing products from multiple production lines – resulting in more productive use of limited space and lowered overhead costs, with little change-over time and greater product handling capabilities.
The resulting efficiencies, labor cost savings and quality tracking options allow faster ROI for operations that are currently using conventional or robotic palletizing equipment to palletize cases, or bulk PET or glass containers.
Rotocargo Layer Palletization System Configuration features include:
AIDCO RoboticStar® Robot and a GripStar Rotocargo EOAT and Product Table serve one or two outgoing production lines.
Rugged system lifts up to 500 lbs. of product, depending on robot size.
Flexible automatic adjustable clamping tool for handling multiple size pallets and layers
of product.
Robotic flexibility provides precise control and movement of products.
System can palletize most types of cardboard boxes, bulk products and bags.
Fast patented product handling horizontal and vertical rotary movement guiding system delivers four to six layers per minute to the pallet depending on product and layer configuration.
System Controller standard Allen Bradley or similar hardware and software to provide overall system control and compatibility with most standard robot software packages for setup, operation, simulation and safety assurance.
Robotic software, with support products and accessories, promotes multiple pick of layers within a minimum of floor space.
Bar Code Scanner and/or Vision technology options to confirm case weight, upper and/or lower flap detection and accurate case size determination.
Product Strapping/Banding or Shrink-wrapping technology option for immediate stability of product on pallet.
Reliable, high quality system supported by 24-month warranty.
Patent Pending Number: IB2006000085 Rotocargo System
Fastest throughput and heaviest payload for corrugated cases, trays and bulk PET or glass containers.
AIDCO International has developed a RoboticStar® vacuum EOAT with the fastest throughput and heaviest payload capacity in its class. RoboticStar® handles a 500 pound payload and up to 100 cases or trays per minute to provide customers a flexible automation solution for today’s competitive business environment.
Regardless of application, AIDCO utilizes the right robotic palletizing solution, gripper technology, conveying system, logistics and communication capabilities to improve operational productivity.
RoboticStar® can be reprogrammed quickly and easily to handle multiple products on a singe production line. Based on customer needs, a wide variety of end-arm-tooling adapts the system to specific space, products and tasks. AIDCO specializes in grippers and vacuum handlers to palletize PET and glass bottles, kegs, aluminum or steel cans, and their accompanying corrugated cases, plastic crates or wooden pallets.
Features include:
Steel arm handles heavy payload, up to 500 lbs, providing increased production throughput.
Cast light alloy composition for cost-effective, light-weight construction with high torsion and flexible rigidity.
Six axes-of-motion and 8.8 feet of reach provide precise control and movement with the fastest in-class production — for reduced labor costs.
Adjustable End of Arm Tool (EOAT) allows for the flexible and working envelope to handle multiple types of cases and containers and to service multiple production lines.
Windows-based software, with support products and accessories, promotes multiple case or entire layer pick-up in a minimum of floor space.
Reliable, high quality system supported by 24 month unconditional warranty.
Easy to use Windows® "Soft PLC" software eliminates the need to use a traditional PLC to control associated machinery - saving on space ad hardware costs.
Economical design provides increased production rates, faster turnover of materials, and decreased maintenance and service costs for rapid investment payback.
