Manual intervention reduced
21 January 2014
Derbyshire-based Vaillant has employed a KUKA palletising robot solution to reduce the need for manual intervention in the manufacturing process and increase both the efficiency and capacity of the manufacturing track.

For the Heat Engine Cell, the need to pick, place and secure rapidly was essential to keep up with the requirements of the track. For the Palletising Cell, there was a need to pick and gently place the finished products in different configurations whilst ensuring no mixing of products on a single pallet.
With its powerful motors and high performance gear units, and the ability to stack multiple pallets up to great heights with ease, the KUKA KR180-2 Palletising solution was chosen for both installations to ensure shorter cycle times and greater productivity.
