The stacking manipulator has a material stacking sequence and arrangement setter, which simulates some action functions of the hand and arm. According to fixed procedures, it can automatically and neatly stack packaged goods of different sizes on pallets or production lines. Stacking manipulator can replace manual labor, realize mechanization and automation of production, operate in dangerous environment, and protect personal safety.

Why do enterprises need to purchase automatic stackers? Is it simply because the equipment can be automated, making handling and palletizing easier?

Now, more and more enterprises use automatic stackers. It is worth noting that there are many skills to understand and master in the process of using automatic stackers.

Most of the operations performed by the cooperative palletizing robot are grasping and placing operations, that is, the robot grabs materials from the conveyor belt and places them on the designated position on the pallet along the motion path. Therefore, according to the position relationship between the robot and the conveyor belt and tray when it completes stacking, and considering the obstacles in the movement process, the "door" shaped movement track is selected. It should be noted that when the robot end effector completes the stacking of cartons at different positions on the pallet, the trajectory is in the shape of a "door", and the coordinates of the trajectory end point are different only because the positions of cartons on the pallet are different.

In many industries, collaborative palletizing robots have been used to replace manpower and simplify work. It is generally used for lightweight practical product packaging. Collaborative intelligent robots put objects or services into small boxes or trays. The intelligent robot of automobile palletizing cooperation can accurately stack small boxes, aquariums, packaging bags, pallets, and packaging cartons in the medium and heavy load areas in the pallet.

With the increasing popularity of automatic robot production, the cost of robots is also decreasing. In the past 30 years, the average price of robots has actually dropped by half, even exceeding the labor cost.

In recent years, with the rapid development of food, beverage and health care industries, the intensity of manual stacking is high, and the rate of staff turnover is high, which has seriously affected the production management of food, medicine and other

The stacking work is completed in the form of a mechanical arm. Stacking is one of the most promising cooperative robot applications, but before introducing in detail, let's start with a simple definition. Palletizing or palletizing refers to the act of placing products on pallets for shipment or storage in the logistics supply chain. Ideally, products should be stacked in a way that maximizes the weight and volume of products under load, and they should be stable enough to prevent products from moving, dumping or squeezing each other.
