With the upward development of society, young people are reluctant to engage in heavy physical and repetitive palletizing work, but there are still a large number of palletizing and handling needs in the fields of food daily chemicals, logistics and warehousing, and pharmaceutical and chemical industries. In order to cope with the pressure of labor shortage and rising labor costs, more and more factories are more willing to choose palletizing robots with a higher degree of automation to carry out palletizing operations to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
Han's Robotics works with partners to build a one-stop palletizing workstation with the S series of large-load collaborative robots as the core, which has the advantages of high flexibility, fast deployment, fast palletizing speed, appropriate efficiency, and simple use, and is more suitable for various large-load palletizing application scenarios.
Heavy-load cobots for palletizing
For palletizing application scenarios, Han's Robotics released the S30 large-load collaborative robot this year (click to review), which uses a self-developed high-performance motor, with a rated load of up to 30kg, can resist 2.5 times the impact load, and has a maximum working radius of 1800mm, and the overall performance is almost comparable to that of industrial robots.
There is also the S20 collaborative robot in the same series, with a maximum load of 20kg and an arm span of 1700mm.

Advantages of one-stop palletizing workstation
1. Palletizing weight: more than 30KG
As mentioned earlier, the palletizing workstation built based on the S series large-load collaborative robot can achieve a maximum load of 30KG, covering almost most of the needs of small household appliances, food and daily chemicals, logistics and warehousing and other industries. However, Han's Robotics will continue to follow the market and customer needs to further improve the load capacity of the robotic arm.
2. Palletizing speed: single and double suction cups, the fastest is 24 boxes/min
The single suction cup stacking cycle time can reach 13 cases per minute (rounds/min), and the double suction cup stacking cycle time can reach 24 cases per minute (rounds/min), supporting 24-hour uninterrupted operation, and the same task can be shortened by 38% compared with similar products.
3. Stacking height: 2.2m stacking height is more practical
When palletizing is carried out manually, the rear half of the stacking height greater than 1.6m needs to be raised, which is both unsafe and laborious. Based on the S series one-stop palletizing workstation, it supports lifting columns, and the stacking height can reach up to 2.2m. At the same time, Han's Robot has also effectively optimized the function of the lifting column, so that each stack only needs to be lifted once to complete the task when palletizing on a single line, and the number of lifting and lowering times is also minimized for palletizing different products on two lines.
4. Palletizing function: meet a variety of palletizing scenarios
Palletizing may seem simple, but there's a lot to learn. According to the actual scene of palletizing in the production workshop, the S series one-stop workstation develops and implements a variety of palletizing processes, including single-line palletizing, double-line cross palletizing, sampling mode palletizing, re-coding for full stamping, 3D visual disorderly destacking, etc., and supports teaching operation (after a teach-in, the production line is replaced with a new product, and the system can automatically calculate and adapt, without teaching again). In the process of palletizing, it can also count the relevant data of palletizing in real time, so as to realize the visualization of the palletizing process and palletizing efficiency.
5. Palletizing process package: easy to operate and simple to configure
With Han's Robot's self-developed palletizing process package, the graphical operation interface is adopted, and through the step-by-step guidance of the system, the palletizing parameters such as bin, stacking type, stacking height, and mode can be intuitively set, which greatly shortens the palletizing configuration time and starts quickly.
6. Palletizing safety: two modes, choose according to your needs
The palletizing workstation supports two different palletizing speeds: safety mode and high-speed mode, of which in high-speed mode, safety solutions such as grating, radar, and electronic skin can be selected according to demand, and the terminal production line can be set up according to the actual situation to maximize safety and efficiency. In addition, as a leader in domestic collaborative robots, the S series large-load collaborative robots have built-in 10 advanced safety configuration functions to ensure the safety of human-machine collaboration.
7. Palletizing ecology: the platform is open, and peripherals are optional
Han's Robot provides abundant I/O interfaces, which can be quickly connected with any palletizing car body and conveyor equipment, which is easy to integrate, and users can also choose to access peripheral equipment such as fixtures, suction cups, expansion shafts, and incoming positioning according to their needs, which is convenient to disassemble and replace. Han's Robot can provide all-round support such as hardware, software, and parts, and welcomes domestic and foreign palletizing integrators to cooperate.
Realizing "machine substitution" in palletizing and handling, and using automation equipment such as collaborative robots to help humans engage in heavy and hard work with low added value, is not only to meet the diversified production needs of all walks of life, but also to fulfill the original intention of Han's Robotics to practice the corporate mission of "serving the people with robot technology".
