Robotiq Frequently Asked Questions

For the AX10 and the PE10, there are three ways to move the solution in the factory during the initial installation. First, we provide wheels that you can easily install on the base, so you can move it freely. Second, the base and axis are also equipped with lifting eyelets, which you can use with a lifting harness. Finally, you can simply move the solution with a forklift. 

Keep in mind that these methods are not suitable for moving the palletizer from line to line in operation mode or when a washdown is required.

For the PE20, the palletizer is equipped with fork slots / pockets to make it easier to move during installation.

We provide concrete anchors for attaching the base to the ground, but you could also use your own anchor or clamping solution.

Yes, it’s possible to palletize more than one SKU. For example, you can palletize SKU A on the left pallet and SKU B on the right pallet. elementum tellus.

Yes, as long as they have the same box height.

For the AX Series, the movement of the cobot and 7th axis is optimized for performance, so the palletizer cannot be used in a collaborative mode (that is, with a human operator right next to it). Safeguarding of the palletizer is therefore required. Unless the project is delivered via Robotiq’s Installation Services, the customer is responsible for doing a proper risk assessment and implementing safety measures before going into production.

The PE Series solutions have no linear axis, so they are more easily used in collaborative operations. In all cases, a proper risk assessment is required.

Yes. In the Palletizer node tree, you can define between-layer operations in the Between layers folder. You can also use a linear axis move node to help program those tasks. As such, even if we are not providing any hardware/software to manage interlayers, our system can accommodate a custom interlayer system. 

The delivery timeline for the solution varies based on several factors. If shipped without the UR robot, it can be dispatched within 14 days. However, if it includes a UR robot, the shipment time may vary. 

For installation, it depends on whether you opt for our installation services, a do-it-yourself approach, or external System Integrators (SIs). Each of these options has its own time frame, which may be adapted to suit your specific needs and circumstances.

Yes, it is possible to work with other types of parts and packaging, such as shrinkwrap and plastic buckets, as long as they’re stackable and can be picked using a vacuum gripper or mechanical gripper. It is also possible to palletize open-top boxes and trays with a custom gripper.
