GET IT DONE. TOGETHER. Unboxing pallets with Trapo Nederland.

In Trapo Nederland’s solution for automatically unboxing pallets of ripened cheeses, a FANUC R-2000iC/165F robot picks up the deck frame and the heavy plate from the pallets. It also places a deck frame back on the same box again, keeping the box and deck frame together. How it works: First, the FANUC robot picks the frame from the box and places it in a temporary position. Next, the robot picks up the heavy top plate and places it on a carrier within the secured area. The box is transported outside this area for a cheese inspection by an operator. If ready, it is transported within the reach of the robot. The robot places the previously removed frame back on the box; box and frame stay together. The box is transported to the unboxing unit. If the PLC signals to unbox, this is done automatically, followed by wrapping the pallet of cheeses with foil. The pallet stacker provides the box – still hanging in the unit – with an empty pallet which next goes to a separate outfeed. Key benefits: • safer working environment for employees as the heavy steel plates weigh 100 kg • increased capacity with the same number of employees • replacement of old unboxing installation About Trapo Nederland BV: Trapo Nederland BV provides solutions based on transport, robotics and industrial automation components.
