Unlocking Efficiency with Customizable Robot Palletizers 

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, automation is essential to stay ahead of the competition. Doosan Robotics Americas’ ONExia PalletizUR, a custom palletizing system using collaborative robots (cobots), demonstrates the benefits that automation can bring to end-of-line operations. The PalletizUR uses Universal Robots cobots and delivers flexibility, precision, and advanced customization capabilities. Doosan Robotics Americas integrates additional features into the standard PalletizUR cobot palletizer, offering a production-ready custom palletizing solution that simplifies manual processes in manufacturing. 

A Turn-Key Palletizing Solution Tailored to Your Needs 

Doosan Robotics Americas’ ONExia PalletizUR is more than just an off-the-shelf palletizing system – it’s the foundation for a fully customized solution. For example, in this featured application, the PalletizUR palletizes lightweight cartons and integrates additional functionalities tailored to the end user’s unique requirements: 

Vision system integrated with palletizer

1.  Vision-Enhanced Quality Control

  • A Keyence vision system seamlessly integrates into the conveyor leading into the PalletizUR cobot palletizer, controlled through the same HMI as the robot. 
  • The vision system checks inkjet-printed labels for legibility, ensuring that only properly marked cartons make it to the palletizing process. Any cartons with illegible labels are automatically rejected, eliminating errors and maintaining quality standards. 
Custom palletizer slip sheet placement

2.  Slip Sheet Placement

  • The PalletizUR includes slip sheet placement functionality, reducing requirements for an idle operator to place slip sheets between pallet layers and streamlining palletizing operations. 
  • Slip sheet location can be easily adjusted with our ONExia cobot custom pallet configuration software. Save pallet configurations in a pallet library and quickly recall and adjust them as production needs change. 

Why Choose a ONExia Brand Cobot? 

Doosan Robotics Americas specializes in delivering turn-key ONExia cobot palletizing solutions that meet and exceed industry standards. ONExia systems stand out through advanced customization capabilities, utilization of cutting-edge collaborative robot technology, and turn-key design: 

  • Customizable Solutions: While the PalletizUR is a standard product, it serves as a flexible platform that adapts to meet specific application needs. From vision systems to additional system functionalities, the possibilities for custom cobot palletizers are virtually limitless. 
  • Collaborative Robot Automation: By utilizing a Universal Robots cobot, the PalletizUR ensures safe, flexible operation in shared workspaces, eliminating the need for extensive safety guarding. 
  • Turn-Key Machinery: Doosan Robotics Americas delivers palletizer systems that are production-ready from day one. Each PalletizUR comes with comprehensive on-site startup support and operator training to ensure a smooth transition to automated palletizing processes. 

The Benefits of Automating Palletizing with Cobots 

Implementing a collaborative robot palletizer like the PalletizUR offers numerous advantages: 

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Cobots operate continuously, working longer and maintaining consistent throughput while minimizing errors. 
  • Improved Safety: Collaborative robots work alongside human operators safely, reducing workplace injuries and eliminating the need for additional hard guarding. 
  • Cost-Effective Automation: With a lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional automation, cobots contribute to quickly realized ROI and avoiding costly facility changes to accommodate new machinery. 
  • Scalability and Flexibility: The PalletizUR adapts to changing production needs through easily adjusted software, interchangeable tooling, and ability to integrate with new or existing systems, making it a future-proof investment. 

See the PalletizUR in Action 

The PalletizUR with an integrated UR10e Universal Robots cobot, Keyence vision system, and automatic slip sheet placement demonstrates how Doosan Robotics Americas turns a standard product into a custom palletizing solution that enhances productivity and ensures quality. From rejecting mislabeled cartons to placing slip sheets, this system highlights the benefits of custom automation in end-of-line operations. Manual processes that would normally require several workers focusing on dull, repetitive tasks in long shifts can streamline into a single automated system that boosts operational efficiency and frees up labor for higher value tasks.
