HYBRID CASE PALLETIZER

The Sentry Hybrid Case Palletizer is designed to orient, arrange
and place layers of finished goods (trays, shells, packs or cases)
onto a pre-staged pallet for transportation to the end user. Hybrid technology is a combination of conventional and robotic handling practices. A case routing zone replaces need for a case switch and pneumatic case diverters. A multi-axis SCARA servo positioner (one or two depending on the line speed), automatically tracks, turns, and redirects the product to its intended lane.

​

Contrary to mainstream robotics, the Sentry Hybrid arms utilize open source Rexroth programming. In addition to being very flexible for future product considerations and change-over, the use of the SCARA style positioning provides gentle handling on sensitive packages and extremely accurate placement of the product.

Quick change End-Of-Arm Tooling is custom-made and included for each of the intended package sizes.

​

The case routing zone is equipped with barrier guarding (wire mesh fencing) and interlocks for operator safety. Options include operator platform, additional product tooling, and automatic tier sheet placement.
