I'm reviewing an alternating layer pattern for our planned planning alternating carton layers on a pallet with Fairino FR10 in a workshop packing department. Although the drawing fits the cartons neatly, a packed rectangular product box 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.
@MinaBrown0946 Does your layer drawing show the load-bearing carton edges and pallet deck beneath them? Add those, then overlay the complete gripper outline.
@RosaBrown0901 We've only got top-view rectangles and a tool centre mark. The carton note specifies support direction, but the layer drawing doesn't show it.
@MinaBrown0946 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.
@JamieBaker0469 Agreed; I meant a comparison option. Packaging must assess both arrangements with the specified cartons and contents, including support and stability.
@RobinArcher0425 That rule is too broad because changing the pattern changes the load paths. The packaging reviewer needs the carton construction and support geometry to assess the result.
@RosaBrown0901 I've overlaid the layers and can identify carton edges positioned above gaps. I can now show packaging the actual support condition that concerned me.
The drawings can now be framed around the relevant questions, although suitable support and access haven't both been established. Acceptance remains open pending their combined assessment.
