Low-Level (Fully Automated) Palletizer
Fully Automated Low-Level Palletizer: Technical Documentation
Performance Features
-
Intuitive Touchscreen Control: Human-machine interface (HMI) displays real-time production speed, fault diagnostics, and system status.
-
PLC-Controlled Precision: Manages box sorting, layer stacking, and pallet feeding/discharge via programmable logic.
-
Flexible Stacking Modes: Adjust stacking patterns (e.g., columnar, interlocked) directly on the HMI without hardware changes.
-
Brake Motor System: Ensures precise box positioning on the conveyor.
-
High-Capacity Pallet Storage: Holds 8–15 empty pallets for continuous operation.
Applications: Corrugated boxes, plastic crates, barrels, bags.

Workflow Description
1. Box Input System
-
Box Conveyor: Orients and sorts boxes into preset patterns using forced steering mechanisms.
-
Sequencing Unit: Pneumatic cylinders push sorted boxes into a lift to form layered groups (e.g., 3 columns per layer).
2. Palletizing Mechanism
-
Layer Transfer: A servo-driven elevator lifts sorted layers and positions them over the pallet.
-
Stacking Motion: Frequency-controlled motors and chains enable smooth vertical/horizontal movements.
-
Compression: Ensures stable stacking with adjustable pressure.
3. Pallet Handling
-
Pallet Feeder: Motorized rack dispenses pallets on demand.
-
Pallet Discharge: Completed stacks (up to 8 layers) are conveyed to a pickup zone.
Key Advantages
-
Zero Downtime: Switch stacking patterns without mechanical adjustments.
-
Energy Efficiency: Optimized motor systems reduce power consumption by 20% vs. competitors.
-
Space-Saving Design: Compact footprint (4.5×3.2m) suits small to mid-sized facilities.
