The APS 3000 is a single-column system based on two Cartesian axes motion. The vertical axe is composed of a hard-set vertical column along which a horizontal beam runs on recirculating-sphere guides. The horizontal axe of operation is made up of the beam, along which, again on recirculating-sphere guides, the grip-head holding arm moves. The grip-head picks the pack layers up from a conveyor belt positioned at waist height and, with swift and precise movements, deposits them on the pallet in the desired spot. The beam’s vertical motion and the grip-head holding arm’s horizontal motion (depending on the palletising system chosen) are driven by brushless motors, which ensure perfect trajectories during the whole palletisation process. The APS 3000 system’s functions can be widened by adding an optional device enabling the grip-head to rotate around its own vertical axe, allowing, if required, for configurations other than orthogonal.
