Automation
Employing a hybrid system with both a pallet changer and robotics pays dividends, according to Lucier. “That is kind of the best of both worlds,” said Lucier. “I’m minimizing the door open time and I don’t have the labor for loading the parts.”

developing newer robots geared toward new material- handling applications, noted Bill Natsch, director, Robot Integration, Intelligrated (Mason, OH). “Our product line includes both conventional and robotic palletizers,” said Natsch. “We can look at the job and determine which type solution works better. In some instances, a combination of these solutions are the best fit.”
The target is clear when it comes to supplying the best value in 3D imaging. Our mission is to offer the widest selection of reliable, productive and precise 3D Imaging Products. We aim to be at the pinnacle of design, delivering durable, robust machines with a high degree of up time.
Intelligrated's automation includes conventional palletizers, robotic pallet- izers, and hybrid solutions. Each has characteristics that can make them bet- ter suited for certain installations, said Earl Wohlrab, Intelligrated palletizing product manager. “Currently, conven- tional in-line palletizers are capable of the highest speeds, while robotic pal- letizers are great for handling multiple production lines, as well as certain prod- uct types such as bags, while hybrid machines are ideal for complex patterns and small packages.” ME
