Our plan for palletising sealed product cartons with Fairino FR5 in a carton palletising project has a very neat alternating layer drawing. But a corrugated case of components has a preferred support direction, and some rotated cartons sit over gaps. I want packaging support and tool access reviewed together before I accept the pattern.
Where should I start?
@RebeccaArcher0430 Build that combined drawing for packaging and your integrator. Include a repeated, unrotated layer as a simpler candidate; it may suit the support direction better.
@ThomasCarter0973 Agreed; I meant a comparison option. Packaging must assess both arrangements with the specified cartons and contents, including support and stability.
@LouisBrown0920 Too general. The arrangement changes where loads pass through the cartons. Your packaging reviewer needs the actual construction and support geometry to judge it.
I had a separate dispatch setup where the carton top view omitted the pallet's deck gaps. Including the deck geometry exposed additional positions for packaging assessment.
@RebeccaArcher0430 Add the complete tool geometry and adjacent cartons at the corner positions. A tool-centre point alone can't establish whether the body or fingers overlap nearby packaging.
The tool outline overlaps the next carton at one corner in our offline layout. Lovely rectangles, inconvenient gripper. I'll flag that position for the integrator.
Any partial layers permitted by the process belong in the review. The packaging assessment needs to cover the resulting loads that dispatch may actually receive.
Yes. Get the allowed arrangements defined, then have your integration plan work within them. Unassessed partial loads shouldn't inherit the full-pattern decision.
I've got a useful review basis now: show support and the complete tool on the layer drawings, then have both specialists assess it. That answers my starting question; the pattern itself remains conditional on their findings.
