The impact of collaborative robots on the end of line<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the packaging<\/strong>operations, the operations of packing and palletising<\/strong> have taken a qualitative leap forward with the incorporation of the collaborative robots<\/strong> (cobots). These machines are designed to work side-by-side with operators, without the need for fences or safety cages, making them a safer, more flexible and efficient alternative to traditional industrial robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key benefits of collaborative robots in case packing and palletising.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consistent and accurate productivity.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cobots handle boxes, crates and pallets with high accuracy, ensuring stable work cycles and reducing human error. While they take care of repetitive and heavy tasks, operators can focus on the quality control<\/strong> or in the supervision of the production line.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased job security at the end of the line.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to their state-of-the-art sensors, collaborative robots stop when they detect contact with a person, minimising risks and reducing injuries from manual handling of loads. This has a direct impact on a safer and healthier working environment.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexibility and easy adaptation in fitting.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A distinguishing feature is its ability to adapt quickly to different formats<\/strong> of boxes, palletising patterns or changes in production. Their reprogramming is agile, making them a scalable investment aligned with industry demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case study: palletising boxes with a collaborative robot in the nuts and dried fruit sector.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

At YM Packaging we have recently developed a project of palletising<\/strong> automatic<\/strong> for a client in the nuts and dried fruit sector. The main objective was to palletising boxes of pipes on European pallets <\/strong>accurately, safely and efficiently, optimising the end of line with the incorporation of an UR20 collaborative robot from Universal Robots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system integrates a side gripping gripper and suction plane, which ensures stable handling of the crates, preserving both the integrity of the packaging and the product. In addition, the system is equipped with crate preparation belts<\/strong> to ensure correct orientation, intelligent sensors for detecting falling boxes, carton level and empty pallet presence, as well as fixing brackets for double palletising station<\/strong>This increases operational productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All management is centralised through a PLC with touch screen<\/strong>which makes it easy for the operator to control and monitor the process in an intuitive way. The project has been designed to work with two box formats<\/strong>The pallets are available in different sizes, weights and pallet configurations, which makes them highly versatile and adaptable to the production line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
