Robots and Cobots for Handling and Palletizing

DMC designs and builds advanced solutions for handling and pallet loading/unloading: systems equipped with industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots) that can handle, stack, and position cans, boxes, and containers on pallets with precision, speed, and flexibility.

These solutions can be seamlessly integrated into existing lines or implemented as dedicated end-of-line systems.

Industrial Robots and Cobots: Two Paths, One Efficiency

Depending on production requirements, DMC offers both industrial robots and cobots.

• Cobots, or collaborative robots, enable safe interaction with operators and provide great versatility for format changes.
• Industrial robots, on the other hand, are the ideal choice for heavy-duty applications, high-speed lines, or large pallet formats.

Main Functions and Applications

DMC manipulators and palletizers are designed to perform multiple operations with maximum precision:

• Picking and placing cans, containers, and boxes from production lines.
• Loading products onto pallets according to predefined patterns, with the possibility to configure different layouts.
• Unloading products from boxes, for example when empty containers are taken from cartons and placed on the conveyors of filling lines.

Customization, Integration, and Reliability

Each project is custom-developed, based on format, weight, pallet height, and required production speed.

• Customizable end-of-arm tooling (EOAT): suction cups, grippers, multi-head systems, or combined tools, adaptable to different product types.
• Dedicated software for palletizing pattern management, format changes, and real-time production monitoring.
• High positioning accuracy, with reduced tolerances even on repetitive cycles.
• Comprehensive testing and validation to ensure consistent performance and safe operation in all conditions.

Customer Benefits

• Increased productivity, through fast and optimized processes that reduce errors and downtime.
• Lower operating costs and ergonomic risks, freeing personnel from repetitive and physically demanding tasks.
• Competitive ROI, thanks to scalable solutions easily adaptable to different production volumes.
• Comprehensive DMC support, from layout design and testing to training and after-sales service.
