CoboPal "Pro" is a palletizing package that can collaborate with peripheral devices and allows for system expansion. It promotes the digitalization of factories and enhances production efficiency. 【Features】*Example ■ Communication Collaboration and Variety Identification Signals of variety information are sent from the upstream system to the palletizer side. This eliminates the need for variety settings on the palletizing side, enabling full automation of the production line. ■ Automatic Transport with AGV Pallets stacked after loading are transported to the warehouse by AGV. This automates the pallet dispatch process, bringing it closer to complete unmanned operation. ■ Robot Hand that Weighs While Transporting Equipped with a weighing hand, the robot weighs while stacking and discharges non-conforming products. This eliminates the need for space to install a weight checker, allowing for a more compact installation of the palletizer. ■ Real-time Monitoring of Production Status Production status is displayed on a touch panel. By connecting to the network, it can be monitored from anywhere in the factory, office, or while on the go. Production information is managed digitally, achieving a paperless environment. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
