Robotic Automation has released its patented Motopal gripper series, which has been specifically designed to handle shelf ready cartons in a multitude of sizes and quantities.
Shelf Ready Cartons are one of the hardest products to palletise in most production facilities and are becoming even more difficult as the trend moves to reduce carton support even further.
Shelf Ready Cartons vary in size, shape, weight and have wide range of perforations, being tray packed or caped types resulting in minimal product and vertical support that can cause cartons to fail, resulting in spilling and damaging contents during the palletising process.
High speed palletising of shelf ready cartons using “conventional standard grippers” can fall short of the task required.
Designed and built exclusively by Robotic Automation, the proven Motopal Gripper Series has been created to handle virtually any type of carton including shelf ready cartons on your production line.
With the ability to pick up multiple cartons every cycle, it can achieve a rate of up to 40 cartons per minute, depending on the average number of cartons and robot cycle.
The MOTOPAL-780 has the flexibility to allow multiple sized products to be palletised in the same production line.
Matched with the Motoman GP180, the MOTOPAL-780 Gripper is a highly efficient fully servo gripper perfect for both end of line and multi robot centralised palletising applications.
