In the automatic packaging machine, it is the core of the entire packaging line system. Although packaging machinery is not a machine for directly producing products, it is necessary for production activities.

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.

Cooperative robot is an important branch of industrial robot. The cooperative robot is mainly lightweight, and its structure is relatively simple, so the whole robot lacks rigidity. Therefore, the load of cooperative robot is generally lower than that of traditional industrial robot, and its working range is only similar to that of human arm. The application of cooperative robot products meets the requirements of precision assembly, inspection and man-machine joint operation.

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.

With the mature application of artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and other technologies, robot manufacturing enterprises have enjoyed huge scientific and technological dividends. According to the statistical report of relevant data, the number of industrial machines put into use in the world has reached 3 million, with a year-on-year growth of 10%. It is estimated that by 2024, the number of new industrial robots in the world will reach about 500000/year. From the data, the demand for robots will increase year by year. On the one hand, robots improve work efficiency, on the other hand, the application of robots also reduces the pressure of manual management in enterprises.

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.

With the accelerated development of industry, intelligent devices represented by industrial robots are facing unprecedented development opportunities. For many years, China has been the main consumer market of intelligent robots.

Stacking robot Mechatronic high-tech products can complete the high automation of the system and provide necessary maintenance for equipment and operators.
