Slip Sheet & Pallet Feeding
Empty pallet magazines, automatic pallet dispensing and slip sheet placement, closing the steps of the cycle that still wait on an operator.
The technology's role in the cell
A palletizing cell has not finished when a pallet is complete: the next empty pallet has to arrive, slip sheets have to go between layers, and the full pallet has to leave. Where those steps stay manual, a fast robot still ends up waiting on the operator.
An empty pallet magazine stores pallets and feeds them in sequence; a slip sheet dispenser places a sheet between layers and contributes to load stability. The palletizing cycle then closes on itself, and operator involvement concentrates at defined points such as replenishing pallets.

Empty pallet
Automatic pallet feedingReplenishment depends on magazine capacity, not on the shift paying attention.
A cycle that waits on the operatorA new pallet is placed by hand each time one is finished.
-
Between layers
Automatic pallet feedingThe sheet lands the same way, in the same position, on every layer.
A cycle that waits on the operatorSheets go in by hand, and separation between layers is lost when they do not.
-
Full pallet
Automatic pallet feedingThe cycle moves on to the next pallet without waiting for the full one to be collected.
A cycle that waits on the operatorThe cell waits until the full pallet is taken away.
-
What limits the cycle
Automatic pallet feedingThe pace of the cell is set by the robot cycle.
A cycle that waits on the operatorHowever fast the robot runs, the cell keeps waiting on the operator.
