Unloading by hand too unsafe, tiring and slow
KUKA Robot depalletizes cases with a vacuum gripper
Since a conventional depalletizer was eliminated as a possibility from the outset due to the low ceiling height, the integrator and official KUKA system partner Midwest Engineered Systems turned to a robot-based solution. The robot had to be able to move the upper layers of the incoming pallet load underneath an existing beam. With its six axes, the KR 270 R2700 ultra palletizing robot selected by Widmer Brewing can easily avoid the ceiling beam and thus unload the pallet stacked to full height.
