Pallatising Boxes of Spring Water Bottles

This customer had an existing system with the following gripper problems; it was prone to wear (poor design), it was expensive to replace the tines (they were specially fabricated from bent round tube), the tines were too thick (creating drop-off problems) and there were additional products that could not be catered for.
Paul Robinson designed the new gripper, managed its manufacture, installed it and re-programmed where necessary for the original robot supplier.
The wear was greatly reduced by the use of more and stronger linear bearings.
The tines were straight 12mm square tubes, which were cheap and easy to replace and reduced the drop-off distance by 50%.
Extra handling components were added to accommodate the new products.
