ROBOTIC PALLETIZING SYSTEM

摘要

A lift station (16) is located below the robot (14) and includes a stop assembly, a lift assembly, a sensor assembly, a control system and a conveying path over which the objects may move. The stop assembly has a barrier. The lift assembly has a lift operable to raise any of the objects located in the lift area above the conveying path to a pick position from which the robot can grasp the object. A control system is connected to the stop assembly and the lift assembly and is operable to control the movement of the barrier from the release position to the blocking position to prevent any of the other objects from moving from the hold area to the lift area when the lift is raising the object to the pick position.
