Gantry Automated Palletizing

Problem:  Manual palletizing of textile spools could not keep up with production and created numerous ergonomic problems.

Solution:  Gantry pick and place automated palletizing allows the operator to load textile spools to a puck conveyor with a lift assist device three at a time eliminating ergonomic injuries.

The puck conveyor automatically feeds spools under the gantry pick position where four spools at a time are picked in-line and placed in a waiting dunnage to start a pallet by row.  The second z-axis gantry position handles the pallet dunnage.
