FANUC America Authorized Integrator PASCO has been designing, manufacturing and servicing automated palletizing systems for nearly 40 years.

PASCO offers unique robotic solutions for pail palletizing designed to operate 24/7 with minimal supervision and operation. This system includes a fully automatic pallet dispenser that can handle multiple pallet sizes. Pallet centering and squaring is used to ensure that the pallet is in the correct place for the robot.

This system has three infeed production lines but only two products that need to be palletized. The middle line can run either product, depending on demand. This system from PASCO utilizes a diverting conveyor to align whichever product is in the middle production line onto the correct palletizing infeed. Pails pass through a bail orientation device to ensure all bails are uniform when the pails are palletized. A clamshell pail-centering device ensures that the pail is properly nested for the FANUC M-410iC/185 robot to make a clean pick. The four-axis FANUC M-410iC/185 – FANUC’s latest in its industry leading line of palletizing robots – includes a 185 kg payload, 3,140 mm reach, and is capable of performing 1,700 standard palletizing cycles/hour, making it the fastest palletizing robot in its class.

PASCO designed a mechanical two-pick end of arm tool for the system. Both lines can run independently of each other, using different pallet sizes and patters. Everything seen here was engineered, manufactured and tested at PASCO headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri.
