Preview: Raruk Automation To Showcase Cobot Palletising Solution At Packaging Innovations & Empack
On the 12th & 13th of February 2025, Packaging Innovations & EMPACK will be returning to the NEC in Birmingham. The event is aimed at showcasing the latest packaging technology, offering attendees the chance to walk through live demonstrations and listen to talks from industry leaders. Top UK automation distributor RARUK Automation will be showcasing the PE10 Robotiq Palletising Solution designed for the UR10 Universal Robots collaborative robot (cobot).
Palletising is a repetitive and strenuous task that poses risk of injury to workers. For manufacturers looking to increase efficiency, palletising is an easy choice in terms of tasks to automate. Implementing a robotic solution to take the strain of repetitive palletising tasks increases safety for workers and allows staff to be re-allocated to more rewarding, higher-value tasks.
Robotiq offers a choice of palletising solutions to suit different cobot models and payload requirements, in both the AX and PE Series ranges. The AX model offers a 7th axis, ideal for applications with greater reach requirements. Meanwhile, the PE Series is designed around a manually adjustable pedestal, ideal for applications that require less frequent changes in box size and pallet height.
RARUK Automation is a Robotiq Expert Partner and was named Universal Robots’ Top Global Distributor in 2024. With previous deployments, Robotiq Palletising Solutions have proven popular due to their small footprint, making it easy to fit them into existing production lines. The PE10 has a payload capacity of 11.5 kg (25 lb) and a stacking height of 1,550 mm (60 in). The solution offers a cycle time of 13 cycles/ min.
Designed to enhance efficiency, Robotiq’s easy-to-use software makes it quick and simple to get a robotic palletising solution up and running. Staff can effortlessly adapt production through an intuitive interface. With Robotiq’s Multi-recipe feature, it is easy to accommodate product changeovers.
