AF-PLT gantry robot palletizing system offers economical solution

The AF-PLT from AFA Systems Inc. (www.afasystemsinc.com) is an economical solution to automate the pallet building process. The AF-PLT utilizes a 3-axis robot to pick and place a wide variety of products such as cases, pails, and more. The 3-axis robot ensures easier set up and maintenance compared to more sophisticated robots on the marketplace. This compact palletizer can include optional features such as slip sheet inserters, pallet dispensers, and washdown construction. You can easily program and changeover pack patterns quickly on the palletizer’s HMI. In addition, the AF-PLT’s modular design allows the machine to be easily integrated into a production line. Allen Bradley controls and servo motors are standard on the AF-PLT.
