Palletising Robot Cell – Paint drums

Robot Palletiser

Indoc P/L is a privately owned company based in Melbourne’s south east that has been providing specialty blended paints to industry for over 30 years.

Fanuc palletising robot cells were sourced to improve production rates, minimise OHS risk, and eliminate the reliance on external labour to meet demand.

Fanuc M710iC robots were utilised with Ethernet I/P for the fieldbus, and a Pro Face HMI provides the operator with an intuitive level of monitoring and control.

Each palletising robot is fitted with a vacuum gripper incorporating an efficient Piab vacuum generator.

The robot palletisers operate with several different palletising configurations.

Indoc has now introduced 9 robots into their production facility to keep up with their expanding requirements.

The robots work together in groups of 3 to accomplish a neatly stacked pallet of paint drums commencing from empty stacks.
