FKI Logistex to showcase latest robotic palletizing solution at Pack Expo Las Vegas

ST. LOUIS, Missouri– FKI Logistex a provider of integrated material handling solutions, will showcase its palletizing technologies at PACK EXPO West in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 15-17.

The 1440-square-foot FKI Logistex display (Booth C-3412) spotlights the company’s new, high-speed robotic palletizing solution, which uses jointed-arm robots capable of palletizing at rates of more than 100 cases per minute.

The patent-pending FKI Logistex robotic solution will be demonstrated in an integrated conveyor loop at the exhibit. Motoman EPL-80 robotic arms with FKI Logistex-manufactured end-of-arm tooling concurrently palletize and depalletize customer product to a single load location. The loop also features FKI Logistex Accuzone 24-volt powered roller conveyor, which offers zero-pressure, zero-contact product accumulation.

The FKI Logistex robotic solution enables customers to achieve higher palletizing rates with a reduced footprint and increased layout configurations compared to common palletizing systems. The robots offer gentle handling to minimize product damage, and four-way orientation of cases gives customers full control of package label positioning. End-users can easily display the same graphics on all four sides of the pallet, or orient barcodes to streamline scanning operations.
