Schneider Packaging Equipment: Add-a-Pal “Plug-In” Robotic Palletizer

Add-a-Pal is a way to add a palletizer to a Schneider case packer. The palletizer shares the PLC controls with the case packer to provide a single packer palletizer solution. Schneider palletizing solutions utilize a FANUC robot with Schneider designed end-of-arm tooling to pick product and stack it in most any pattern. These solutions can accommodate stacking on any size and type pallet, on slip sheets or without substrate depending on the requirements.

Pallet handling options include manual exchange, over/under conveyor, floor level automatic exchange, conveyor, pallet magazines and pallet dispensers. Slip and tier sheet options include sheet magazines, sheet dispensers and automatic sheet cutting to size ‘on-the-fly’ from roll stock. Finishing options include product and pallet labeling, stretch wrapping and banding.
