MATERIAL HANDLING - Cobot palletiser solutions

Make your palletising process faster and simpler with electric lifting columns. ELEVATE™ is our lifting column for cobot palletisers, which extends the range of your cobot, increasing both speed and flexibility. ELEVATE uses our powerful LC3 IC.

Lifting columns extend the reach of cobot palletisers
Cobot palletisers are a valuable solution for material handling, as they free your workers from monotonous and physically demanding jobs.

However, collaborative robots with limited reach are prevented from stacking boxes beyond a certain height.

The LINAK® ELEVATE lifting column makes it possible to also palletise the upper levels. The cobot can be raised or lowered during palletising to get the most advantageous working position. Also, it is economically viable to increase the cobot workspace with the column as 7th axis.

ELEVATE lifts your palletiser to the next level because it is:

• Fast: Load-independent speed up to 100 mm/sec and with optional simultaneous run
• Flexible: Integrated controller with digital and analogue I/O options or Modbus TCP/IP
• Solid: Low deflection with 100 kg load and up to 1400 Nm dynamic bending moment

 
ELEVATE is an easy-to-install lifting column that is designed for cobot palletisers. Various mounting plates make it compatible with a wide range of cobot models. You choose between different communication interfaces to control the electric lifting column with your palletiser system: digital and analogue I/O options (ELEVATE Easy and ELEVATE Pro) or Modbus TCP/IP (ELEVATE Modbus).

ELEVATE is offered with accessories to make the integration easy. Accessory kits include mounting plates and cables.

In addition, cobot brand-specific driver software and components are provided, such as a URCap for cobots from Universal Robots and TMFlow for OMRON TM cobots. Use ELEVATE with your preferred components for power supply and safety relays.

• Out-of-the-box deployment—plug into the robot arm and configure the gripper to fit the product—provides fast productivity and ROI
• No external air supply required reduces maintenance costs and speeds deployment
• Dual gripping functionality enables shorter cycle time

• Complete, easy-to-program, collaborative parallel gripper gets to work fast in a wide range of applications
• Strong parallel gripper is easy to deploy in tight spaces and handles demanding payload requirements
• Get fast ROI with a single flexible, intelligent, and precise gripper that can be easily customized and adapted for many tasks
• Ready for use almost anywhere, with IP67 rating for harsh environments and ISO Class 5 certification for cleanroom use

• Highly versatile palletizing gripper with wide stroke and customizable arms handles heavy or open boxes, shelf-ready products and other containers that can’t be gripped with vacuum
• Integrated vacuum gripper handles slip sheets without changing the gripper or requiring other handling method
• Off-the-shelf gripper saves significant engineering effort and shortens deployment time
• Electric gripper offers fast out-of-the-box deployment without the complexity and costs of external air supply

Why 2FGP20?

The OnRobot 2FGP20 electric gripper offers a wide stroke and customizable arms to easily handle heavy or open boxes, shelf-ready products, and other containers such as Euro containers (plastic KLT bins) that can’t be handled with traditional vacuum grippers. Like all OnRobot electric grippers, the FGP20 provides fast, out-of-the-box deployment with intuitive programming. An integrated vacuum gripper places slip sheets without changing the gripper or requiring another handling method. The 2FGP20 gripper has a versatile payload of 9kg (including gripper), making it ideal for handling food boxes or pouches and tetra-packed items, as well as fast-moving consumer goods such as toiletries, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products.
