Manipulator carton stacking system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a manipulator carton stacking system and method. The system comprises a control system, an execution system and an upper computer. The control system comprises a programmable logic controller (PLC), a touch screen and an industrial personal computer, the execution system comprises an upstream packer, an automatic clamping plate library, a carrying robot, a servo clamp and an automatic aligning system, and the touch screen is respectively connected with the industrial personal computer and the programmable logic controller (PLC) and the upper computer, the programmable logic controller (PLC) is used for controlling the upstream packer and then controlling material conveying through a variable-frequency material conveying positioning mechanism, the automatic clampingplate library automatically sends out clamping plates, the carrying robot cooperates with the servo clamp to carry out high-precision positioning and placing on cartons, the optimal placing scheme isautomatically calculated through calculation software in the industrial personal computer, and the automatic aligning system is used for aligning the cartons. The manipulator carton stacking system can be seamlessly connected with the upstream packer, realizes manpower removal and reduces the operation cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic control, in particular to a manipulator carton palletizing system and a method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of e-commerce, the amount of packaging cartons is increasing. In the production of cartons, after the cartons are processed, their packaging, storage and transportation are also critical steps. Palletizing and packaging are usually performed, and the packed cartons are sent to the warehouse for storage or transit. [0003] At present, most carton manufacturers still use manual handling to sort and place cartons, which has low efficiency, high labor costs, and chaotic production management. [0004] In addition, some carton palletizers have appeared now. The carton palletizer is to put the packed cartons on pallets and pallets for automatic stacking. It can be stacked in multiple layers and then rolled out, which is convenient for forklifts to transpo...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, most carton manufacturers still use manual handling to sort and place cartons, which has low efficiency, high labor costs, and chaotic production management.

[0004] In addition, there are some carton palletizers now. The carton palletizer is to put the packed cartons on pallets and pallets for automatic stacking. It can be stacked in multiple layers and then rolled out, which is convenient for forklifts to be transported to the warehouse for storage. , but they all exist independently and cannot cooperate with the upstream baler. The function is relatively single and the degree of automation is not high.
