How to Construct Pallet Assembly

Process Modeling
1

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build an assembly for palletizing and need your advice. The structure should be like this:

  • 2 boxes = 1 bundle
  • 2 bundles (4 boxes) = 1 row
  • Total = 3 rows (12 boxes)
  • Sheets → one sheet on the pallet, and one sheet between every row
  • Pallet at the bottom

So the final stack looks like:
Pallet → Sheet → Row 1 (4 boxes) → Sheet → Row 2 (4 boxes) → Sheet → Row 3 (4 boxes).

I have attached my model file here.
Can you please check and suggest the best way to construct this assembly step by step?

You need to divide your steps in the order in which there are constructed. With copy-paste, it can go really quickly :

Tiipp: in the video I press the Shift key while moving the Z-axis up, to align the components on the surface of the pallet or boxes

Thank you, now it’s working. However, I need the bundle to be created so the robot can pick up two boxes at once, and also how to avoid robot gripper collision with the product during assembly.

You can use a “Bundler Point” from the "Conveyor Utilities im eCat.
Standard the box behind will e attached to the box in front. So in your Assembly, you can delete some boxes and rotate the others, so that they are placed correctly.

You can adjust the Approach Position of the robot in its Transport Controller under LinksDefault, or directly in the Transport Links, or add an approach frame in your process nodes. See pages 17 and 21 : Robot Transport Controller Manual | Visual Components Academy
