Fanuc S-430iW Robots Palletize Ammunition Cases

Project Summary:

Out with the old, in with the newer, reconditioned robots! This customer was looking for an affordable upgrade for a multi-robot palletizing configuration. RobotWorx supplied and integrated five FANUC robots into the preexisting conveyor arrangement, and met all application needs.

Application Goals:

• Work with Preexisting System: Customer needed a group of robots that would replace worn out models. Arrangement of conveyors and pallets will remain the same, so RobotWorx technicians will need to integrate robots to fit.
• Payload to Accommodate Parts: Cases of shotgun shells weigh as much as 23kg each.
• Attain Proper Cycle Speed: The robot must stack at least six ammunition cases per minute. Pallets are stacked seven layers high.
• Reach Requirements: Need a robot with a wide work envelope. Must extend at least 2286mm from the center of the robot.

RobotWorx Solution Details:
