Welsh robotics company Reeco has partnered with factory automation solutions provider Omron to launch a collaborative robot (cobot) palletiser.
The RB1200 palletiser has been developed to offer improved productivity, flexibility and cost savings, as well as enhanced safety, versatility and quick responses to changes in demand.
It can be deployed in sectors including automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, packaging and logistics.
Llewelyn Rees, managing director of Reeco, said: “We believe the use of cobot capability is a leap forward in palletising technology and will benefit businesses across multiple sectors where palletising is a key part of their operations.”
The new palletiser has a small factory footprint, making it suitable for operations where space is limited. It has been designed to be easy to set up and deploy and is suitable for most pallet sizes.
In addition, Reeco’s EasyStack software allows for multiple layers and pallet designs to be set up without any prior programming knowledge.
Each palletising system comes with integrated safety to ensure quick deployment and compliance with ISO/TS 15066:2016.
Safety fencing is used alongside each pallet runway with restricted access points and monitoring with safety scanners.
Rees added: “Cobots have a transformational impact on a company’s productivity, improving efficiencies, delivering cost savings and helping to create a modern, dynamic working environment.”
