Specialised system for depalletising batteries

🔋 AGS-Sonderanlage zum Depalettieren von Batterien: Damit jedes Produkt automatisch den richtigen Weg nimmt. 🦾 Für einen langjährigen Partner haben wir eine Roboterzelle zur Depalettierung von Batterien umgesetzt. In den nächsten Wochen folgt die finale Inbetriebnahme vor Ort.

The task sounds simple: take batteries from a stack and place them on a conveyor belt. In practice, however, this involves a precise automated process of detection, gripping, alignment and transfer.

The process starts with position detection:
A camera system detects the battery size and orientation. This tells the robot how the battery is positioned and how it needs to be picked up.

The robot then takes over:
With a gripper featuring vacuum technology and mechanical clamping, the battery is safely lifted from the stack, correctly aligned and placed in the right position on the conveyor belt.

Pallet handling is also integrated:
Empty pallets are collected in the Palomat, neatly stacked, and can then be transported away. Interlayers are deposited separately in the cell. Damaged pallets can be discharged backwards.
This creates a stable material flow that reduces manual lifting and sorting work and transfers batteries to the next process in the correct orientation in a reproducible manner.

⚙️ Cycle time: 8 batteries per minute.

This AGS solution is a fine example of how robotics, visualisation and sophisticated handling interact to transform a heavy and monotonous manual work step into a cleanly automated process.
