Columbia/Okura’s new palletizing solution enables handling heavy payloads at higher rates than previous collaborative systems and with flexible tooling allow for multi-pick options. The design features a 10’ x 11’ footprint, and an intuitive pattern building software by Rocketfarm for ease of use.
The miniPAL+ safety features include area scanners and radar, both of which monitor the palletizing cell and slow the robot to collaborative speeds should a person enter. Additionally, it includes guarding to create a physical barrier while also optimizing the footprint of 10’ x 11’. The dual pallet building locations allow for reduced downtime when one pallet load is completed and needs to be removed from the cell. The system uses 110V AC power that is achieved through a standard power outlet. The system is very quick to integrate. It can be set-up and running within a day of deployment.
