More manufacturers are turning to palletizing operations with collaborative robots (cobots), and ONExia is a system integrator that has made it easier for its clients to use cobots as a drop-in replacement for end-of-line workers. With the drag-anddrop software that comes with the PalletizHD collaborative palletizing system (7), anybody can program the cobot easily to achieve the desired palletizing operations.

Tim Pelesky, marketing manager for ONExia, was at PACK EXPO to demonstrate how easy it is to set up the system. Users have complete control of the entire system through the embedded touchscreen on the PalletizHD lifter base. To create a program, a user can touch the screen to select a new pallet configuration, and then add box dimensions (weight, length, width, and height) and pallet dimensions (length and width). “We also o er a box edge gap in the event that you’re worried that your boxes might not be completely uniform or your pallet configuration requires it,” Pelesky says, noting the ability also to create a reference edge. “We also o er the ability to do a dual pick in the event that you want to pick two boxes at one time using the 38-lb payload.”

Magic Gripper

International exhibitor based in South Korea that specializes in compressed air driven vacuum pumps, suction cups, and other accessories, introduced its Magic Gripper head (8) at the show. Suitable for attachment to either an industrial robot or a cobot, it has a decentralized vacuum that lets it use as many or as few grippers as an application needs. Suitable for cartons, cases, or flexible packages, it also features a silencing technology that deadens some of the noise traditionally generated in compressed air applications.
