Cardboard palletizing robot
1. Materials Suitable for Standard Palletizing
Corrugated Materials (Ideal for Robotic Palletizing)
Corrugated Paper / Fluted Board / Fluted Paperboard
Palletizing Method: High-speed robotic arms with vacuum grippers (adjustable suction for B/C/E-flute).
Challenge: Thin flutes (e.g., E/F-flute) may require low-pressure suction to avoid crushing.
Use Case: E-commerce boxes (nested pattern stacking).
Combined Board (Multi-layer Corrugated)
Handling: Heavy-duty palletizers with clamp arms for stability.
Max Stack Height: 2.5m (with corner reinforcements).
Paper Box / Packaging Box
Automation: Vision-guided robots for mixed-size boxes (e.g., Fanuc M-410iC).
Special Feature: AI-based Stack type optimization to minimize overhang.
Rigid Paperboards (Require Precision Handling)
White Cardboard / Gold & Silver Cardboard
Palletizer Type: Delicate grippers (silicone pads) to avoid surface scratches.
Stacking: ≤1.2m (to prevent glossy finishes from sticking under pressure).
Kraft Paper / White Kraft Paper
Challenge: Sheets may shift during transport.
Solution: Palletizers with sheet feeders + compression plates.
2. Problematic Materials for Palletizing
Thin/Non-Structural Papers
Coated Paper / Offset Paper
Issue: Slippery surfaces cause stack instability.
Workaround: Interleave with slip sheets or use palletizers equipped with anti-static grippers.
Packing Paper (e.g., tissue wrapping)
Automation Limit: Typically manual palletizing; robotic systems require bale compression first.
Special Paper (Variable Properties)
Custom Handling: Depends on texture/coatings (e.g., palletizers with dual-mode grippers for embossed papers).
3. Palletizer Selection Guide by Material
Material Type Recommended Palletizer Key Adaptation
Corrugated Boxes High-speed robotic arm (bremetz) Vacuum cup matrix for size switching
Heavy Combined Board Clamp-arm palletizer bremetz) Force control to prevent crushing
Glossy Cardboard Collaborative robot (bremetz) Soft grippers + vision alignment
Kraft Paper Rolls Slab palletizer (bremetz) Radial arm design for roll handling
Mixed-size Boxes AMR Mobile Palletizer On-board 3D scanning for dynamic stacking
4. Advanced Palletizing Solutions
AI-Driven Layer Optimization:
Software (e.g., Honeywell Intelligrated) calculates optimal box rotation to maximize pallet density.
Hybrid Systems:
For brown board (humidity-sensitive), palletizers integrate moisture sensors + dehumidifiers.
5. Industry-Specific Applications
Food Packaging: White cardboard boxes require sanitary stainless steel palletizers (washdown-rated).
Luxury Goods: Gold/silver cardboard palletizers use UV-filtering covers to prevent tarnishing.
Logistics Hubs: Corrugated box palletizers with auto-labeling integration.
6. Maintenance Tips
For Corrugated Paper: Weekly cleaning of vacuum filters (paper dust buildup).
For Coated Papers: Gripper pad replacement every 6 months (coating residue).
The corrugated cardboard palletizing robot produced by bremetz is an industrial robot system specially used for automatic stacking (palletizing) of corrugated boxes or cardboards, which can greatly improve the efficiency of warehousing and logistics.
I. Special design of corrugated cardboard palletizing
Adaptive gripping system
Vacuum suction cup group: automatically switch the suction cup layout according to the size of the cardboard (anti-leakage design).
Mechanical gripper: used for grasping deformed cardboard boxes (adjustable pressure to prevent crushing).
Intelligent deviation correction technology
Laser scanning + AI vision: real-time detection of cardboard edge offset and dynamic adjustment of palletizing path.
Stacking type optimization algorithm
Supports multiple stacking modes (orthogonal staggered, pyramid type), and automatically calculates the center of gravity balance.
Software interface: can be connected to WMS (warehouse management system) to obtain order data.
II. Industry application scenarios
Post-process of carton factory
Task: stack the formed cardboard into bundles (each stack height is 1.2-1.8 meters).
Challenge: anti-slip treatment (stack inclination angle <5°).
Logistics warehousing center
Mixed palletizing: co-processing of cartons of different sizes (requires 3D visual guidance).
Efficiency: replaces 4-6 workers, failure rate <0.5%.
E-commerce fulfillment warehouse
Features: handle ultra-thin corrugated boxes (E/F corrugated), suction cups need to be puncture-proof.
