NEW cobot – TM25S

Available from November 2023, TM25S is a heavy payload cobot in the AI Cobot S-series from world leading cobot manufacturer, Techman Robot. The TM25S is the first dedicated cobot with the capability to palletise without complicated secondary mechanisms onto an Australian 1165mm x 1165mm pallet. Whether its utilising TM’s Palletizer Operator system or a more customised solution, with it’s 25kg payload and 1900mm reach, the TM25S will be a game changer for cobot palletising in the Australian market.

A cobot to suit your palletising needs

Techman offer a range of cobots that are all potentially suitable for palletising applications. Each robot offers a different mix of Payload (kg) and Reach (mm) capabilities. Choosing the right cobot for your palletising application is dependent on a range of factors, including:

• The pallet size. Most Australian, standard pallets are 1165mm x 1165mm. To effectively palletise on these pallets requires a cobot with sufficient reach to be able to place products at the furthest corner of the pallet. With its 1900mm reach, the TM25S Cobot is ideal for this application, however the TM12 and TM20 may also be suitable in some circumstances, especially if you are palletising to a smaller “export” or “Euro” style pallet.
• Product weight. The weight of your carton, bag or other product is critical to the selection of the correct cobot for your palletising operations. The TM25S offers the most flexibility with its 25kg payload allowing for a wide range of product weights. For lighter products, the TM12 may be suitable, especially if using a smaller sized pallet.
• Speed. The rate at which you need to palletise (to match your production throughput) can dictate the type of robot required. Its worth keeping in mind that cobots are generally slower than a regular, “industrial” robot. Cobot palletisers are therefore ideal for production lines with low to mid outputs. Additionally, the use of a higher payload cobot may be able to increase palletising rates as the higher payload can allow multiple products to be picked simultaneously.
• Product diversity. Many businesses have a large range of products to palletise, each of which may be a different dimension and/or weight. In some situations, these different product types may arrive at the palletiser in batches, meaning the capability to palletise to 2 or more pallet positions could be important. In both scenarios, choosing a cobot that can adapt to a range of products or to accommodate multiple pallet positions may need to be a consideration.

Additional Techman Robot cobots that may be suitable for palletising applications:

• TM20 – 20kg payload and 1300mm reach
• TM12 – 12kg payload and 1300mm reach
