Tower palletizer APS 1540 series

Cartesianautomatic

The APS 1540 is a single-column system based on two Cartesian axes motion for the palletization of cases, bundles, trays and other commonly used packs, composed of several modules configurable in a customized manner depending on the logistical conditions of the end-of-the line and the palletizing requirements. The core of the APS ERGON system is the module of the vertical axis, a fixed column (liftable by crane only), along which the horizontal axis of operation made up by the beam runs on recirculating-sphere guides. The horizontal beam, along which the picking head-holding arm runs on recirculating-sphere guides, can be combined with: - 90° product infeed module and layer pre-composition system; - Pallet module with maximum load capacity of 300 kg (max. 10 pallets with maximum height of 150 mm and maximum load capacity of 30 kg/pallet) including conveyor and empty pallet magazine (pallet modules with higher load capacity are available as optionals); - Pad-inserting module (optional), composed of pad magazine and the pad-inserting unit with controlled axes; - Protection bars. In the pallet infeed, the product infeed conveyor forms the row, together with the translation system that with a one-way movement contributes to the formation of the layer. The picking head picks the pack layers from a conveyor belt at operator's height. The vertical movements of the beam and the horizontal movements of the head-holding arm are activated by brushless motors, ensuring perfect trajectories during all palletizing phases. All the operations are controlled by a user-friendly system for the machine automation and control.
