机器人托盘的基本指南

Not sure what you need to know about robotic palletizing?

选择机器人技术有很多很多理由。但是,在开始使用机器人托盘之前,有一些重要的基础知识要学习。

这是机器人托盘化的基本指南;它是什么,如何编程托盘化机器人?

如果您有中等至大量的包装过程,则托盘步骤可能是其中不可或缺的一部分。也许您目前正在手动执行步骤,或者您已经使用了某种形式的自动化。

您几乎可以肯定考虑使用机器人。

There are several options for autonomous palletizing. However, robotics is quickly becoming an extremely popular option thanks to its flexibility and its ability to handle mixed-case pallets.机器人托盘市场的市场正在稳步增长,,,,largely thanks to the need to replace labor.

Maybe you already know the basics of robotic palletizing. Even so, it can help to go over the fundamentals. That way, you can make a better appraisal of your requirements for a robotic palletizer.

What is Robotic Palletizing

Robotic palletizing is the practice of using an industrial robot to place and stack goods onto a pallet for transportation. Many robots can be used for palletizing and the most common approach is to use dedicated palletizing robots for quick transportation of heavy, bulky items.

机器人托盘和其他形式的自动盘托盘之间的主要区别在于,机器人可以使您更加控制托盘的排列方式。

With正确的编程解决方案,您可以轻松地创建具有不同形状和尺寸的对象的混合托盘。为全新产品线重新编程机器人也很容易;一种需要数月的机械设计的变化,并使用常规的托盘机。

Does Palletizing Always = Big and Heavy?

When we think of palletizing, we often think of huge robots moving large and heavy boxes onto pallets piled high with products. This might mistakenly lead you to think that palletizing is only ever suitable for big and heavy objects.

In reality, palletizing can be done on any scale. It is really just a more advanced version of pick and place.

将托盘任务与基本选择和地点区分开的关键细节是,被放置位置始终发生变化(或拆卸任务的拾取位置)。物体在托盘顶部的网格中放置,因此每个位置都位于上一个位置旁边。

And just because we talk about arranging items on a “pallet” doesn’t mean they always have to be large, wooden pallets. You can do a palletizing task onto almost any surface.

What Type of Robots Can Be Used for Palletizing?

考虑到这一点,您几乎可以使用任何机器人手臂进行托盘。只要机器人可以捡起对象并将其放在其他地方,它就可以处理托盘。

但是,有些机器人比其他机器人更适合托盘。您选择的机器人将取决于所选托盘任务的性质,机器人将处理的对象类型以及所需的性能水平。

这是一些常见的机器人:

  1. 托盘机器人 -对于大多数情况,可能是最佳选择。这些是大型机器人,有效载荷能力较大,长达距离。他们通常使用轴耦合,一种设计选择,可以使机器人肘部的执行器固定在其基础上,从而提高速度和有效载荷能力。
  2. 6轴工业机器人 -Good for their flexibility, these are usable for many tasks within the workspace, including palletizing. They come in a vast range of sizes, which means that you should be able to find a suitable one. The biggest robots currently on the market (with the largest payloads) are 6-axis robots and are necessary for heavy objects.
  3. 协作机器人 -最适合不需要速度的低薪任务。玉米机器人可以在没有安全围栏的情况下进行操作。它们通常用于小型,低性能的托盘。
  4. Delta Robots —通常用于高速选择和地点,也可以使用Delta机器人进行详细的托盘任务。这很少见,但可能。
  5. 圣嘉机器人 -大多数Scara机器人用于轻巧的详细组装任务,这意味着它可以适合较小的托盘任务。但是,还有一些专业的圣嘉机器人,可用于重型托盘。
  6. Gantry Robots —这些可以比所有其他类型的机器人都具有更大的有效载荷,并且能够使几乎所有可以通过高架起重机抬起的任何东西。

如何快速轻松地编程托盘化机器人

无论您拥有哪种类型的机器人,如果您使用良好的机器人编程软件,对托盘任务进行编程都很容易。

你可能会在每个点硬编码e program manually. After all, this is the traditional way to create a robot program. However, this would be a mistake. It would make your code hard to update and reduce the benefit of using robotic palletizing at all.

理想情况下,您想使用一个机器人编程软件,该软件可以自动循环浏览各种托盘位置。您可以简单地告诉软件托盘模式的尺寸和属性(例如长度,宽度,重复属性)。然后,它自动计算精确的机器人位置。

使用Robodk,无论您使用哪种机器人,托盘现在比以往任何时候都容易。这要归功于我们的新托盘插件,这是可能的与最新版本

This new feature is accessible through the Palletizing Panel. It allows you to set the basic properties of the palletizing pattern (approach height, X and Y repeat, etc). Moreover, it also accepts more complex properties such as alternating orientation between layers. This feature is often required to ensure the stability of palletized products.
