Fastlayer is the robotic layer preparation with active pack orientation and arrangement.
The main results of this applications are:
1) improves transport of some containers and assures extremely delicate handling, in order to avoid any kind of damage to the product.
2) Reduction of change-over times or adaptation to new products.
3) Increased performance with small footprint.

This solution offers an innovative alternative to conventional layer preparation composed of a divider, conveyors and layer formation area with pack-turning device and can be integrated upstream of any kind of palletizer.

The application is composed of 1 or 2 anthropomorphic robots mounted in parallel which move continuously and synchronously with the conveyor belt below. The packs are delivered along the layer forming conveyor in single row, appropriately spaced, and the robots work against the flow, orienting and arranging the packs to prepare the layer, according to the selected palletization layout.

Main features:
• The 6-axis robots are mounted above the conveyor, with a forward inclination of 40°, which optimizes the working area.
• The patented gripping system, which adds a further two movement axes, allows several packs to be handled at the same time without compromising on the accurate and delicate handling of the packs.
• The size change is managed simply through a selection process on the operator panel, and usually no mechanical components need to be replaced.
• The pack transfer conveyors, with modular chains, represent a flat, regular and continuously moving support base. This avoids excess friction on the pack bases and assures handling stability.
• The innovative 8-axis configuration and the optimization of the different cycles leads to high performance and limits the working speed of the different components. This guarantees reliability and reduction in wear over time.
