RoboticStar®:
Specialized Applications
The RoboticStar® SP (Special Product Applications) line is a group of flexible, automated palletizing system configurations that utilize, in different combinations and layouts, robots, gripper technology, a conveying system, controllers and integrated software. Several Key features are included below with more details available.
- A four to six axis robot (e.g., FANUC 410i or KUKA KR 180 PA) with standard 36" high base that builds accurate loads up to 10 - 100 cases per minute and handles heavy payload tasks up to 396 pounds.
- GripStar multi-functional EOAT and robot provide up to 12 feet of reach and balance flexibility and high capacity throughput with cost.
- Large working envelope allows servicing of multiple conveyors and pallets and can handle both bulk and case palletizing.
- Control Cabinet with easy to use Windows-based controller software eliminates the need for associated PLCs (programmable language controls) which saves on space and hardware costs.
- SafeStar safety fence provides a 15 foot by 15 foot safe work cell area, with a light curtain covering the full-pallet discharge area.
From a lower-cost entry-level robotic work cell called "Versa-Cell" to multiple robotic cell configurations interacting with associated types of packaging equipment, AIDCO has developed a range of "platform driven" equipment and software with four patent-pending types of End-of-Arm Tools ("EOAT") available, depending on the customers application need. A wide variety of product and material handling applications such as bulk products (e.g., PET bottles, aluminum cans, and plastic pails), pallet handling, tier sheet and top tier sheet handling and corrugated box/case and plastic tray handling has been developed for many types of end-of-line packaging needs.
