The layer pattern fits, but some cartons sit over gaps (Fairino FR10)

I'm reviewing an alternating layer pattern for our planned palletising sealed product cartons with Fairino FR10 in a workshop packing department. Although the drawing fits the cartons neatly, a labelled dispatch carton has a preferred support direction and some rotated positions lie above gaps. I'd like a joint review of packaging support and tool access before accepting it.

Does your layer drawing show the load-bearing carton edges and pallet deck beneath them? Add those, then overlay the complete gripper outline.

@RebeccaAllen0343 My current layer drawing shows carton footprints and a tool centre point only. It hasn't incorporated the support direction specified in the carton documentation.

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.

The repeated arrangement remains a candidate, not an accepted solution. Its support and load stability still need assessment for the cartons with their actual contents.

You're right to qualify the suggestion. I intended an alternative for comparison, with both patterns requiring packaging assessment of support and stability using the specified filled cartons.

I thought alternating layers always made a stronger stack. Is that too simple?

@ChenCarter0964 Too general. The arrangement changes where loads pass through the cartons. Your packaging reviewer needs the actual construction and support geometry to judge it.

The layer overlay shows carton edges above gaps below. That gives me something specific to mark for packaging instead of saying the pattern feels wrong.

The pattern remains unaccepted because its tidy carton arrangement hasn't established the required support and handling access.

Understood. The footprint alone hasn't answered either requirement strongly enough to close your decision.
