Featuring the highest payload capacity and highest reach among
collaborative robot palletizers, the new Robotiq palletizer models,
the AX20 and AX30, are breaking new ground in the automation
industry.
QUÉBEC, ON, Aug. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Robotiq publicly unveiled
the AX20 and AX30 cobot palletizers, packing the renowned
zero-downtime installation readiness into true turnkey
solutions.
Featuring the highest payload capacity and
highest reach among collaborative robot palletizers, the new
Robotiq palletizer models, the AX20 and AX30, are breaking new
ground in the automation industry.
"The launch of the AX20 and AX30 represents a major leap forward
in our cobot palletizer lineup, offering increased height and
payload capabilities. These new models are compelling alternatives
to industrial robots, providing superior adaptability at a fraction
of the cost and with a footprint 4 times smaller," said
Samuel Bouchard, Robotiq's chief
executive officer.
High payload, high pallets
The new AX20 and AX30 pushed the cobot limitations. They can
build pallets as high as 108 inches and handle packaging as heavy
as 60lbs. These new cobots are disrupting the industry where until
now, the only solution for such applications was expensive and
massive industrial robots which can take more than one year to be
deployed.
Copilot software
The new AX20 and AX30 come equipped with Copilot, Robotiq's
software, making them the easiest and fastest automatic palletizers
to install and operate on the market. Like the other models in the
family, these palletizers can be installed and made functional
within just 3 days, without disrupting ongoing operations and with
minimal layout modification. Compared to industrial robots, the
AX20 and AX30 are deployed 75% faster.
The advanced software incorporates a wide range of flexibilities
that are easily configurable through an intuitive interface to add
new SKUs and operate the cell. Assembly line workers will learn to
master it with a 15-minute training.
Plus, the Copilot software makes these palletizers incredibly
versatile and adaptable to customers' evolving needs. With a
user-centric interface, operators can easily adjust throughput,
pallet loading height, packaging specifications, and more. Designed
for seamless adaptation by end-users, Robotiq's palletizers empower
customers to achieve full operational autonomy (they don't rely on
an external expert to configure their palletizer) and maximize
their investment.
The Coordinated Axis
The AX20 and AX30 palletizers are uniquely designed using a
"coordinated axis" (or a ball screw servo axis), making them the
most efficient cobot palletizers on the market with the highest
throughput and longest lifetime. Unlike telescopic axes,
coordinated axis combined with advanced robot control enable faster
and smoother movements, preventing overheating and overloading of
the robot arm.
With the introduction of these new products, Robotiq once again
proves its industry leadership by having a complete series of Lean
Robotics cobot palletizers.
Robotiq palletizing solutions
Given their demonstrably short payback period of less than a
year, the Robotiq cobot palletizers represent a smart investment
opportunity for manufacturers currently employing manual
palletizing processes. As economists predict a strong economic
resurgence in 2025, investing in automation now is a wise strategy
for manufacturers to maintain a competitive advantage. Combined
with the anticipated worsening labor shortage, automation
investments will future-proof operations and drive efficiency
gains.
Additionally, these cobots directly contribute to an enhanced
safety environment for the workforce by freeing workers of
non-ergonomic tasks and empower employees to perform value-added
tasks.
All Robotiq solutions are equipped with the innovative Copilot
software, making Robotiq's palletizers the smartest and most
user-friendly on the market. With its pre-engineered design,
seamless integration, and operation, the Robotiq palletizers
streamline the process, ensuring an automation success and a
risk-free investment.
