Palletizing Products? Perfect Robot Software Solutions

Want to make pal­letiz­ing a pain­less process pron­to? The need for speed and effi­cien­cy is cru­cial in pal­letiz­ing oper­a­tions. When search­ing for that per­fect pal­letiz­ing soft­ware, there is a pletho­ra of options.

KUKA offers Pal­let­Lay­out and Pal­let­Pro pal­letiz­ing soft­ware, which both pro­vide solu­tions for plan­ning a pal­letiz­ing cell, as well as pro­gram­ming and con­trol­ling it. The soft­ware uses sim­ple offline pro­gram­ming with up to thir­ty pal­letiz­ing and con­vey­or sta­tions. The pro­grams can then be con­fig­ured for up to fif­teen dif­fer­ent robot­ic cells.

Fanuc​’s Pal­let­PRO is also offline sim­u­la­tion soft­ware. It uses a process nav­i­ga­tor, cell brows­er, run pan­el, and pro­duc­tion data for sim­u­la­tion. Its users devel­op pal­letiz­ing appli­ca­tions in a 3D sim­u­la­tion environment. 

Motoman​’s soft­ware is enti­tled the Easy­Pal­let Pen­dant Pal­letiz­ing Soft­ware, and pro­grams are gen­er­at­ed auto­mat­i­cal­ly in as lit­tle as one – three menu choic­es. The user makes his selec­tions on the robot teach pen­dant, and this can be done in five min­utes or less. Easy­Pal­let boasts over 200 for­mat­ted pal­letiz­ing pat­terns, which do not cor­re­late with box sizes. Any box and pal­let size can be used, and the pat­tern will auto­mat­i­cal­ly adjust. This soft­ware is high­ly com­pat­i­ble with XML databases.

Robot Stu­dio Pal­letiz­ing Pow­er­Pac Soft­ware from ABB designs test­ed sim­u­la­tions in min­utes. Real robot sys­tem pro­grams are cre­at­ed with­out the has­sle of a lengthy pro­gram­ming time, since the robots are con­fig­ured rather than pro­grammed. Even inex­pe­ri­enced pro­gram­mers can devel­op sim­u­la­tions of sys­tems actu­al­ly run­ning in real time.

Colum­bia Oku­ra designed OXPA, which has detailed graph­ics and easy nav­i­ga­tion tools. These tools pro­vide quick access to fifty stan­dard prod­uct pat­terns that are built into the pro­gram. These stan­dard pat­terns make the pro­gram­ming task sim­ple for novices, but if the user needs to add new pat­terns, he can do so with the Do-It-Your­self pal­letiz­ing soft­ware, even while the robot is running.

Newtec took a mod­u­lar approach with PalDe­sign­er. There are three dif­fer­ent ver­sions of the soft­ware, depend­ing on expe­ri­ence lev­el of the user. PalDe­sign­er links base mod­ules and uses pri­or oper­a­tion sim­u­la­tion for authentication.

Nachi Pal­letiz­ing Soft­ware is sim­ple and effec­tive. The user will pro­gram a start point and the dimen­sions of a part/​product, and the soft­ware will auto­mat­i­cal­ly pro­duce a robot pro­gram. Depend­ing on how the prod­ucts need to be pal­letized, the user can choose between the Sim­ple and High­ly Effec­tive options.

Time is of the essence when pal­letiz­ing, and these soft­ware options pro­vide quick, effi­cient pal­letiz­ing pro­grams and process­es. Robots​.com is capa­ble of inte­grat­ing pal­letiz­ing robot soft­ware into your indus­tri­al robot. Con­tact us today for more infor­ma­tion at 877−762−6881.
