Large-area vacuum gripping FMC system for lifting rows of workpieces from a roller conveyor for the purpose of palletizingVideo 125
The FMC large-area vacuum gripping system is especially suited for palletizing cardboard boxes. The large-area gripping system is equipped with sealing foam, which allows cardboard boxes of different sizes to be lifted quickly and easily from undefined positions. A conventional portal could not be installed because of the low room height of the production facility. The gripper was therefore modified to pick up objects from the side, which saved on investment costs. Using the large-area gripping system from Schmalz, the process was fully automated and the output was increased significantly to 25 boxes per minute.
