The genius of simPAL® Mini

Cobot Palletiser

simPAL®  Mini Cobot Palletiser combines smart TMFLow software and collaborative robot hardware to allow for a highly flexible, collaborative robot palletising solution ideal to replace manual hand palletising.

The simPAL Mini cobot palletiser features the latest TM25S collaborative robot by Techman Robot. Utilising a collaborative robot means we use minimal floor space and without the need of physical guarding.

Plus, with the latest generation of software, users can easily program new product sizes and patterns directly on the TM25S Teach Pendant.

Palletise on an Australian Pallet!

Cobots have previously have always been limited when palletising on larger Australian sized pallets, but the simPAL Mini with a TM25S cobot is fully capable of palletising onto a standard 1165mm Australian pallet.

The TM25S allows for up to 20kg of payload capacity and up to 6 cycles per minute.

Finished pallet heights of up to 1800mm are possible with our integrated lift column giving further flexibility to your palletising needs.

(Note: Payload and rates are dependent on the product – for more information please contact our sales team).

Cobot Palletiser with integrated vision system

By using a TM Robot collaborative robot, the simPAL Mini cobot palletiser includes advanced vision-based features utilising the fully integrated 5MP camera. The built-in vision can be utilised for tasks such as product identification or QA tasks like label or barcode reading.

The simPAL Mini TM25S is available with either a single or a double pallet configuration. When using a double pallet configuration, the system can even palletise two different products simultaneously.

Safety

To ensure operator safety, all TM Robots have inbuilt safety features meaning they operate without the need for guards*. This is both an important cost and space saving benefit and enables the simPAL Cobot palletiser to be deployed in the smallest footprint possible.

The addition of optional laser areas scanners can further enhance the safety features allowing the robot to slow or pause if forklifts or people enter the robot working area.

Palletising rate

The simPAL Cobot Palletiser comes standard with a vacuum gripper which is suited to a range of carton sizes and weights. Palletising rates of up to 6 cycles per minute∗ can be achieved making this small footprint system the ideal replacement to manual palletising.

Each simPAL Cobot palletiser is delivered ready-to-go so installation is expedited, reducing downtime and cost. A simPAL Mini cobot palletiser system can be brought to site, connected quickly and be running in as short as 1 business day.

∗Notes:

• Payload and rates are dependent on the product dimensions, weight, pallet pattern and stack height.
• Guarding requirements are based on a application specific risk assessment – for more information please contact our sales team.

More than just a cobot!

Without the need for complex programming, the user can easily generate new pallet patterns, enter new products and save new recipes. A simPAL Mini cobot palletiser is a complete package from start to finish, ready for operators to start production.

A user can easily create their own custom pallet pattern directly on the touch screen in a matter of moments. Coupled with the lead to teach capabilities of all Techman Robot cobots and the on-board TM-Flow software, programming a simPAL Mini cobot palletiser becomes a simplified process.

Need greater payload or speed?

The simPAL Mini cobot palletiser is designed specifically for lighter weight products (preferably cartons) and to replace hand palletising.

However if you require faster palletising speeds or your products exceed the payload of a cobot, we also offer our full simPAL robotic palletising system which uses an industrial grade multi-axis robot.
