A company producing household appliances operating globally with 40 production sites in 15 countries has a total yearly revenue of over 3 billion Euro.

Shown in the picture to the right is an area gantry system with two robot saddles type FP 100 Omega, which is used to palletize same-type vacuum cleaners packaged in cardboard boxes. 8 types of products can be palletize in parallel, while the attached converying system is delivering same-type products for pickup through the robots. Empty and full pallets are supplied and transported over two transfer carriages each run by a servo drive. The palletzing performance of the facility using vacuum grippers is sufficient for the whole production of this plant, whereby up to 20kg weighing boxes are taken in a double grip and are put on the destination pallet according to the selected packaging plan.

Besides the gantry area system Ro-ber also delivered the extensive pallet conveying system, the product delivering conveying system and additionally the software to select orders.
