Your selection for gripping technology for palletizing robots
The performance of the robot system can be especially influenced by choosing the right gripper.
Usually the single gripper is the right choice for small outputs and bulky packages. Multiple grippers that can handle two or more packages at the same time are better suited for palletizing capacities of more than 500 packages per hour.
Multifunctional grippers are used when in addition to the actual pick and place tasks, additional functions such as interlayer removal or measurement and testing processes are to be integrated.
Take a look at the following pages to see some examples of the different gripping systems.
