Soco Systems - Robot in a box

• Automated end-of-line packaging in food and beverage production.
• Efficient palletisation of boxed goods in logistics and warehousing.
• Handling diverse product sizes and packaging types in manufacturing.
• Reducing manual labour for repetitive lifting and stacking tasks.
• Integrating into existing production lines for increased throughput.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 5 to 15 cases per minute, depending on case size and pallet pattern complexity.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

A 'robot in a box' solution is designed for a compact footprint, typically requiring an area of approximately 2m x 2m, plus space for pallet loading/unloading.

Gripper type

This unit is described with a universal vacuum gripper head, suitable for handling a wide range of case materials and sizes.

Pallet compatibility

Equipped with a universal pallet positioning device, it can typically handle standard Euro pallets, UK pallets, and other common industrial pallet sizes.

Control system

Units commonly feature integrated IPC with self-programming and pallet pattern generation software for ease of setup and operation.

Maintenance requirements

Robotic palletisers are generally designed for minimal maintenance, often requiring only routine checks and lubrication.

• What kind of cases can this robot handle?

  This unit is described with a universal vacuum gripper head, meaning it is designed to handle practically any case type, including cardboard boxes, plastic crates, and shrink-wrapped bundles within its operational payload limits.

• Is this system difficult to integrate into an existing line?

• What level of training is required for operators?

• Can it handle different pallet patterns?

• What kind of support is available for this system?

Used palletizers are valued for their durability and cost efficiency compared to new equipment. Buyers typically appreciate their ability to handle high-volume throughput whilst reducing labour demands. When purchasing used units, key considerations include verifiable service history, mechanical condition of stacking arms, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours machines from established manufacturers known for robust engineering. Potential issues centre on wear in hydraulic systems and gripper mechanisms, making thorough pre-purchase inspection essential.
