We supplied a multi robotic palletising systems for a major UK food manufacturer, this was built and pre-tested at Kensal's manufacturing and assembly plant in Luton to enable a fast installation on site. The system incorporates 3 large Kuka Robots and Kensal's stainless steel conveyor for packs, empty and full pallet handling.

The robots had a custom in-house designed vacuum head, to gently and accurately lift the display ready packs onto the pallets without any damage.

The custom head, which is critical to all robotic applications, was designed to be able to lift in 9 independently controlled zones each with its own feedback system to ensure full control whether lifting a single box, a row or a complete layer.

Kensal were also responsible for the six infeed production lines and the six exiting pallet lines, marshalling the exiting conveyors through a stretch wrapper into a buffer area.  The ability for each robot to handle two full production lines resulted in significant cost and space saving

This is only one of many Robotic systems we have integrated into the food and drinks industry over the past 14 years when we first used them.
