Palletising
Bi-Directional Palletising Cube
One robot cell that palletises bottles, de-palletises them back onto the conveyor, or buffers production when the line downstream backs up.
Why it works
One cell, three jobs
Works both ways
Palletise to pallet, or de-palletise back to conveyor, on demand.
Built-in buffer
Stores bottles on pallets when the downstream line backs up, then feeds them back.
Wide bottle range
Mexx vacuum tooling handles several formats without tool changes.
Fits your line
Connects to blow moulder discharge, conveyors and downstream lines.
What it does
Palletise, de-palletise or buffer
The cube builds pallets from loose bottles coming off the conveyor, or reverses the flow and unloads pallets back to the conveyor. When the line downstream is constrained, it palletises bottles as temporary storage and feeds them back out when the line recovers.
- Palletise: conveyor to pallet
- De-palletise: pallet to conveyor
- Buffer mode for line congestion
- Recipe control on the HMI
- Conveyor and accumulation integration
- Vision checking (optional)
How it works
Choose a mode and let it run
01
Choose a mode
The operator picks palletise, de-palletise or buffer on the HMI.
02
Present
Bottles arrive by conveyor, or pallets arrive on the pallet infeed.
03
Pick and place
The ABB robot picks bottle groups with the Mexx vacuum head and places them on a pallet or the conveyor.
04
Index pallets
Full pallets move out for forklift or AGV, and new pallets come in to keep the cell running.
