Following two prosperous years as a custom line product, the cobot palletizing tool CPT is now set to transition to the standard range. “We’re pleased to offer this adaptable tool as a completely customizable product to all clients looking for cutting-edge palletizing,” states Madeleine Sheikh, Global Product Manager.
The cobot palletizing device CPT originated from a concept developed by Piab’s custom line team in Germany. In 2022, it was introduced as a tailored line product and promptly garnered interest, primarily because of its capability to pick various boxes of differing shapes and sizes in a single cycle.
“Think about how many additional pallets you could dispatch daily if you palletized four boxes simultaneously instead of only one,” stated Madeleine Sheikh, Global Product Manager at Piab.
Moreover, CPT possesses numerous other attributes to provide. The most noticeable feature is its off-center design, which increases the cobot’s reach by up to 4 inches. It is also quite compact and lightweight, which reduces the stress on the robot arm.
The CPT includes an integrated piCOMPACT®23 SMART Valve Unit that enables very rapid response times, thereby enhancing throughput. Like many other Piab products, the CPT features the renowned COAX® technology that reduces air consumption.
CPT can be easily reconfigured on-site by simply switching the lower suction plate from foam to suction cups or the other way around. This indicates that this tool essentially functions as multiple EOATs combined into a single unit. It includes Plug & Play software and connections for UR E- and CB-series cobots up to UR20 size, or a standard electrical interface ready for IO-link that works with additional cobots.
