The answer is agility

Sidel, one of the three industrial groups of Tetra Laval, with over 40,000 machines installed in over 190 countries, is a leading supplier of equipment and services solutions for the packaging of beverages, foods, and home and personal care products

During interpack, a new development in particular attracted the attention of visitators; it’s a new “all-in-one” cobotics solution for small and medium-sized production lines in which there is a demand for extensive automation for production flexibility and the absence of personnel and of the musculoskeletal problems that certain types of manual work imply.

Presented in a world preview, the RoboAccess_Pal S is a compact and agile robotised palletisation unit, which delivers speeds of up to 12 cycles per minute and enables a case payload of up to 25kg while ensuring a fast return on investment, typically of one to two years. The palletising solution offers a new level of compactness with a footprint of less than 12m² for two stations with a significant pallet height of 1700 mm.

Combining the best technologies from the robotics and cobotics world, it meets the needs of the food, home and personal care segments (FHPC). The solution is characterised by extreme modularity, also expressed in the robotic cell with folding walls that allow it to be quickly moved to a new location without restrictions on access to the work area from both sides.
