Premiere for new compact palletising unit
Sidel, Hall 13 Booth B47
Sidel is expanding its palletising range with the introduction of the high performing RoboAccess_Pal S. This new palletising unit has been designed to combine the best of cobotic and robotic worlds. It is claimed to provide a capable solution that delivers improved agility, operability and compactness to the food, home, and personal care (FHPC) market segments. With the introduction of cobotics in palletising, Sidel intends to answer the growing market demand for very compact and affordable cells, which generally replace manual operations.
For more demanding lines, where robotic arms could offer higher technical performances, Sidel has drawn on its 50-plus years of palletising expertise to create an all-in-one solution that combines small footprint, fast return on investment and higher case payload and speed.
RoboAccess_Pal S delivers speeds of up to 12 cycles per minute and enables a case payload of up to 25 kg while ensuring a fast return on investment, typically of one to two years. The palletising solution offers a new level of compactness with a footprint of less than 12 m² for two stations with a significant pallet height of 1,700 mm. RoboAccess_Pal S is embedding three new patented features. A light-weighted carbon fibre and 3D-printed clamping head helps deliver higher payload capacity and overall machine footprint reduction while handling a wide range of secondary packaging. Additionally, the patented folding guarding system ensures effortless movable plug & play capabilities. Sidel says that it is committed to ensure a high level of safety standards; a patented mobile physical curtain guarantees the operator’s protection during pallet supply and removal in addition to helping reduce the machine footprint further.
