On this blog, we have often praised the merits of Octopus gripping system, calling it the optimal solution to the flexibility requirements of modern palletizing systems.
The following video provides further confirmation of this.
A Cartesian robot is tackling a task that would be a complex challenge with traditional gripping hands: handling different packages.
Notice how easily Octopus head switches from gripping cardboard boxes of varying weights and sizes to handling wooden pallets.
The real strength of the system lies in its versatility and ability to pick up pieces and move them in any direction without the need for format changes: there is no need to stop the line to replace suction cups or adjust mechanical clamps. The suction plate itself instantly adapts to the irregularities of the cardboard and the slats of the pallet.
Whether the surface is solid and smooth or porous and uneven, Octopus technology guarantees a firm grip on the load. And all this “intelligence” comes not only from the robot’s complex electronic sensors but also from the pure pneumatic efficiency of Vuototecnica system.
A single solution is designed for the entire palletizing cycle: to pick up the boxes, position them, and manage the interlayer and empty pallet, even when the surface to be handled occupies only 5% of the suction plate.
