The modularly constructed magnetic palletizer is suitable for packing and unpacking tins , aerosol cans , canned goods and glass jars with steel lids and offers the user a quick return on investment by eliminating the need for an extra robot and saving manpower
Modular magnetic palletizer saves extra robot
Goudsmit Magnetics of Waalre recently redesigned its magnetic palletizer , which now consists of modules that are available in several versions . The maintenancefriendly magnet is suitable for palletizing and depalletizing tins , aerosol cans , canned goods and glass jars with steel lids . The modular construction offers users , such as integrators , packaging companies and producers of food or chemicals , a number of choices that will eliminate the need for an extra robot and save manpower . A lightweight version , for example . Or the choice of a spring suspension unit , which serves as a flexible guideway that prevents product damage and enables correct positioning . The vacuum system and pallet gripper options make it possible for operations such as picking and placing a pallet , separator sheet or layer of cans to be carried out by a single robot . The associated savings result in a quick payback period for this new system . See film here . 62 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk
DESIGN The integrated vacuum system is designed for picking up and processing any size and type of separator sheet . The parallel mechanism guarantees a lowmaintenance , trouble-free production process , even with non-uniform loads , such as when picking up an uneven layer . The magnet is fitted with several pole systems so that with light tins or aerosol cans the field is stronger at the surface and with heavier loads , like canned goods , the magnetic field is deeper . The palletizer uses pneumatics for easy control and is equipped with sensors for on / off detection . The spring suspension unit makes positioning easy and prevents product damage . It is also equipped with sensors that prevent misalignment ( twisting ) and jamming , as well as crashing of the robot in unexpected situations . The new design of the palletizer is the result of thorough market research and use of the DFMA methodology ( Design for Manufacturing and Assembly ).
MAINTENANCE The magnetic palletizer has a long service life , is very easy to maintain and consumes little air . Any wear parts are easy to replace . The central scissor mechanism consists of two cylinders which ensure that the palletizer is switched on and off evenly and that the plate magnet is activated in one go . This ensures equal application of the magnetic force across the entire surface , which distinguishes Goudsmit palletizers from other types .
The company ( Goudsmit ) supplies the lightweight magnetic palletizer to various customers worldwide . In some locations , the system runs continuously , 24 hours a day . Even then , maintenance is minimal .
