Why a Cartesian manipulator

For many handling and palletizing jobs, straight linear axes are the simplest, most compact answer.

  • Large work areaThe whole floor area under the frame is usable, ideal for long or large products.
  • Compact and enclosedGuarding is built into the frame, so the machine needs no extra fence around it.
  • Made to measureFrame and axes sized to your products and floor space.
  • No robot programmingOperators set up new products and pallet patterns on the touch panel.

In operation

The manipulator takes each box from the infeed conveyor and builds the pallet layer by layer.

  • Delivered project
  • Palletizing

Built in-house

Mechanics, control panel and software are designed and built by our team.

Vacuum gripper plate on the Z axis

1Vacuum gripper

Large vacuum cups pick the cartons, smaller cups pick the slip sheets. The pressure for the sheets is adjustable.
