Quick and easy setup and control with OMRON Palletizer solution for cobots
OMRON's palletizing solution for collaborative robots responds to the need for more flexible production processes and reduces programming time. The PLC-based cobot palletizing solution is created on OMRON’s NX1 series modular machine controller that is equipped with a specialized Palletizing Function Block. Palletizing solutions with collaborative robots can fit into small spaces and work safely side by side with people, without additional safety fencing, whilst relieving operators from heavy lifting and repetitive tasks. Cobot palletizers have become more and more popular in many industries and end-of-line applications. To simplify and to speed up the programming of these applications, OMRON has launched a new cobot palletizing solution. The NX machine controller communicates directly with the cobot controller, and seamlessly handles the various input and output devices and tools needed for a palletizing solution, such as a gripper, pillar, conveyor belt, safety components, sensors, and servo motors. This enables the complete sequencing to be performed from the PLC. The solution can be connected to a human machine interface for operation. Discover more:
