.
System A:
- Autonomous operation with predefined palletizing plans.
- Strategic capability allowing simultaneous handling of up to 4 distinct pallets.
System B:
3D vision system for precise detection of sacks on pallets, even in irregular layers, minimizing errors and optimizing operation quality.
3D vision system, a customized solution to meet all your requirements.
The SackBot 100 and SackBot 200 robots are equipped with an advanced 3D vision system that allows real-time analysis of the sack configuration on your pallets.
Advantages of the 3D vision solution:
- Precise identification of sack positions
- Ability to handle sacks, even in irregular arrangements
- Over 100 selection criteria available for sack identification (colors, patterns, 3D shapes, depth, etc.)
- Capability to differentiate sacks from different brands and select only the desired ones
- 2D analysis of the sack with discriminating criteria to ensure correct orientation, e.g., for MiniSlit feeding (cf. SackBot 200 series)
Industrial Benefits:
The SackBot robots integrate into a wide range of industrial sectors.
- Food Industry: For the unloading of powder or food pellet sacks in controlled environments.
- Chemical Industry: Handling pellets, grains, and other raw materials in large quantities.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: For logistics operations where precision and reliability are crucial.
Examples of Industrial Applications:
- Sack unloading: Automation of unloading machines to reduce operator fatigue and improve throughput.
- Palettization: Loading and unloading pallets with precision, even in complex environments.
- Diverse handling: Integration into complex logistics flows requiring frequent configuration changes.
The SackBot 200 series is ideal for companies looking to automate their handling processes while increasing productivity. Its technological versatility and performance make it a valuable tool for modernizing and optimizing industrial operations.
