Kawasaki robotic palletizers offered in North America

摘要

Kawasaki robotic palletizers—which can palletize at rates up to 30 bags or cases per minute (1,800 cycles per hour)—are now offered by a designated North American system integrator. A direct coupled gearbox with AC servo motors directs the robot with absolute pulse encoders on all axes. To program a layer or pallet pattern, operators use a hand-held pendant with 6.4-inch liquid crystal color display and menu-driven interface. Features include Ethernet and RS232 ports and a collision detection system.
