Gantry Palletizer
CODI Manufacturing has launched the Flex Stack series of gantry palletizers, which are being offered in multiple standard load capacities, the first up to 44 lbs and the second up to 66 lbs.
The Flex Stack Pro series is a customizable solution and has a load capacity of up to 110 lbs. The Flex Stack series operates at 4 to 10 boxes per minute. The Flex Stack is suitable for de-palletizing and for palletizing mixed product pallets. Gantry palletizers require less floor space than manual palletizing and reduce ergonomic/worker compensation issues.
Flex Stack units can be skid-mounted and moved via pallet jack or forklift. CODI offers users the option of the new Festo AX Motion Insights Electric and Pneumatic subscription-based predictive analytics packages to increase uptime and throughput while lowering inventory. The new Festo palletizing software installed on Flex Stack palletizers features a choice of an intuitive web browser interface (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) that doesn't require programming knowledge. There is a one-click auto-generate function to calculate optimal pack patterns. Automatic plausibility and limit-value checks are built in to ensure the pack pattern is functional.
Users gain a 3D view of the pallet that can be rotated and zoomed for visual checks. Users can reposition packaged goods using a mouse. This system ensures operators are aware of the necessary interventions.
