Sidel has expanded its palletising range with the introduction of the new RoboAccess_Pal S that was demonstrated for the first time at interpack in May.
With the introduction of cobotics in palletising, Sidel says it has been able to answer the growing market demand for very compact and affordable cells, which generally replace manual operations. For more demanding lines, where robotic arms could offer higher technical performance, Sidel has drawn on its 50-plus years of palletising expertise to create an all-in-one solution that combines a small footprint, fast return on investment and higher case payload and speed.
RoboAccess_Pal S delivers speeds of up to 12 cycles per minute and enables a case payload of up to 25 kg while ensuring a fast return on investment, typically one to two years. The palletising solution offers a new level of compactness with a footprint of less than 12sq m for two stations with a significant pallet height of 1700 mm.
“We have designed RoboAccess_Pal S to deliver a solution which offers the best of both the robotic and cobotic worlds, addressing the needs of our customers across a wide range of applications and market categories,” said Fabien Chiron, innovation manager for the palletising product line. “With more than 1,300 robotic palletising installations worldwide, Sidel has also led the implementation of collaborative robotics since 2011,” he continues. “We have built from this combined expertise to deliver an innovative mixed result as well as additional brand-new features.”
Available in just ten weeks, RoboAccess_Pal S is embedding three new patented features to provide an even higher level of agility, operability, and compactness. A light-weighted carbon fibre and 3D-printed clamping head helps deliver higher payload capacity and overall machine footprint reduction while handling a wide range of secondary packaging styles. Additionally, the patented folding guarding system ensures effortless movable Plug & Play capabilities.
Sidel is committed to ensuring a high level of safety standards and a patented mobile physical curtain guarantees the operator’s protection during pallet supply and removal in addition to helping reduce the overall machine footprint further.
