Palletizing 3 Different Products with 1 Cobot Solution
The manufacturing industry is fast-paced and ever evolving. Because of this, efficiency and adaptability are crucial to business. In order to keep up, businesses must keep evolving the technologies in their manufacturing facilities.
Recently, one of Zeta Group Engineering’s customers needed help reimagining their manufacturing floor. They needed new technology to adapt to their various palletizing needs. Our solution was to use the Hermes Mobile Cobot Solution, equipped with interchangeable tooling options.
The Customer’s Needs
The customer had a production line that handled multiple pallet patterns and diverse box types. Because of this, they knew they needed a solution that could adapt to this versatility.
Zeta’s Solution
To solve this issue, we customized our Hermes Mobile Cobot to handle these variations in pallet patterns and box types. This solution included four pallet patterns and two end of arm tooling options: a fork tool and a multi-zone vacuum tool.
The fork tool was used for cases which were not sealed and couldn’t be handled from their tops. The vacuum tool was used for the cases that could be handled from their tops.
To enhance adaptability, we incorporated a tool-changing device, allowing the operator to effortlessly switch between the two types of tooling.
