Schmalz and FPT offer an efficient solution for the handling (palletising and depalletising) of unmixed layers from and onto pallets.
The “Layer Master” thereby targets the widest possible range of products at a speed previously considered impossible and with the highest process safety!

 
Your benefits:

• Maximum flexibility due to the wide range of products handled
• No gripper replacement and no set-up times for order changes
• The robot system is adjusted according to customer-specific requirements
• The gripping process (vacuum) cannot be topped by any other principle
• High speed due to extremely short cycle times
• Careful handling of products, fewer damages

Your result:

• Higher economic efficiency through flexibility, speed and availability
• Rationalization and cost reduction throughout the entire process

Vacuum gripping system SPZ-M-C

The combination of the three gripper principles of the universal gripper enables automated handling of virtually all layers of products, intermediate layers and pallets!
 
The gripper principles:

1. Vacuum suction surface
2. Global vacuum chamber
3. Auxiliary mechanical gripper

 
 
Product range

• Cardboard boxes, combipacks, bottles, cans, glasses, foils, sacks
  Shrunk and unshrunk goods (primary and secondary packaging)
  Packaged goods in trays (closed and trays open at the top)
  Cooled and frozen goods
   

Of particular interest...

• Layering pattern with “chimneys” (gaps in the layering pattern)
• Products with removable or hinged lids
  Trays with stacking clips
• Inhomogeneous products such as soft plastic bottles
