In modern industrial production, the application of automation technology is becoming increasingly widespread. Collaborative robots, as an important component of automated production lines, have played a crucial role in many industries.

In modern industrial production, the application of automation technology is becoming increasingly widespread. Collaborative robots, as an important component of automated production lines, have played a crucial role in many industries.

Among them, palletizing technology is widely used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, and logistics. Especially in repetitive tasks like packing, palletizing, and handling, the application of robots has significantly improved production efficiency and product quality.

Yaskawa collaborative robots are safe to use and easy to operate. They can automatically perform palletizing tasks in small workspaces shared with workers. Paired with Yaskawa's palletizing software Pallet Builder, it easily generates palletizing programs and effectively improves production efficiency.

As of the end of 2023, Yaskawa Electric has sold a total of 600,000 robot products. Based on the experience from these 600,000 industrial robot sales cases, Yaskawa collaborative robots can utilize industrial robot application software packages, including palletizing, welding, handling, and processing.

Yaskawa collaborative robots enhance palletizing technology with their safer and more flexible performance advantages, saving time, effort, and labor while assisting factories in achieving automation transformation.

▶ Operators lack experience in robot operation, making it somewhat difficult to introduce and use robots.
02 Strong Load Capacity and High Safety
The Yaskawa HC series collaborative robots feature high load capacity and large arm reach, with a maximum load of up to 30KG and an arm reach of up to 1900mm. They can easily handle items of various sizes and weights while maintaining high stability even at maximum arm extension.
The axes of Yaskawa collaborative robots are equipped with built-in torque sensors. In the event of an unexpected collision, the robot can stop operating in time and has anti-crush and path retreat functions to effectively ensure operational safety.
03 Easy Teaching and Simple Installation
The Yaskawa HC series collaborative robots support drag teaching and can be paired with the smart teaching device Smart Pendant. It has rich guidance prompts built-in, lowering the learning threshold for usage and making operation more convenient. Under the premise of following safety guidelines, even operators lacking robot operation experience can easily use it.
When installing the robot, it does not require a large space or safety barriers, facilitating direct removal of stacked pallets by forklifts after palletizing operations. The wiring is simple; the body has built-in air pipelines, Ethernet cables, and end-effector equipment cables.
04 Upgraded Palletizing Software: Simple and Easy to Use
The new smart teaching device paired with the palletizing software Pallet Builder allows for easy generation of palletizing programs through an intuitive interface and palletizing function guidance without needing to code teaching points. By inputting relevant parameters for palletizing, users can easily generate programs.
The software is powerful and provides various stacking case options for different sizes and types of workpieces. It also supports custom stacking patterns.

 

05 Product Parameters
System setup area: 3,100mm × 1,100mm (including two pallet positions)

 

06 Compatible with Various Ecological Products to Meet More Production Needs
▶ End Effector: Multi-gripper compatibility with easy replacement to meet more diverse palletizing needs for different product types.
▶ Mobile Platform: AGV equipped for greater mobility.
▶ Sensors: Optional laser proximity sensors that switch to collaborative mode when detecting a person entering the operational range of the collaborative robot to reduce operating speed and ensure worker safety.
▶ Movable Frame: Convenient for switching production stations and easier deployment of palletizing systems.

 

The introduction of collaborative robot palletizing technology not only promotes the automation process in production but also brings significant economic benefits and enhances market competitiveness for enterprises. In the future, as technology continues to advance, collaborative robots will play their roles and advantages in more fields.
