The UR20 Universal Robots model offers the greatest reach and payload capabilities of the entire UR cobot range. One of the key features of the UR20 is its re-designed joints that allow increased speed and torque. This redesign cuts cycle times by up to 65%, as well as enabling the robot to handle heavier loads. Where palletising is concerned, the UR model’s reach is ideal for standard EURO pallets.
The PE20 can handle payloads up to 20 kg (44 lb) with end of arm tooling, unlocking new possibilities in terms of palletising. The solution offers speeds reaching 13 picks per minute, enabling manufacturers to cycle various product types quickly.
This solution is compatible with all standard pallet dimensions. The PE20 reaches stack heights of up to 2.15 m (84 in). Robotiq’s software solution ensures accuracy and ease in managing a high number of SKUs. The solution offers even higher productivity and efficiency than previous automated palletising options.
When paired with Robotiq’s enhanced PowerPick gripper and Multipick software feature, the PE20 will be able to palletise multiple boxes at once. With 16 possible gripper configurations, the PE20’s flexibility will allow users to manage changing production line needs and easily adapt to future requirements.
“Robotiq’s new solution is a fully integrated software and hardware package, which is easy to program and set up.” Says Andrew Mason, Automation Sales Manager for RARUK Automation. “We are on hand to assist our customers with deployment, training and ongoing technical support.”
Andrew Mason concludes: “We are pleased to be able to offer the PE20 to our UK customers, as the increased payload and reach capabilities of the new UR20 model will enable businesses to automate their more challenging palletising tasks.”
