Our plan for arranging shipping cartons in pallet layers with Fairino FR10 in a carton palletising project has a very neat alternating layer drawing.
But a labelled dispatch carton 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?
@RobinCarter1034 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.
Give packaging and the integrator a drawing combining those details. A repeated unrotated layer is worth assessing alongside the alternating one because it may better suit the specified support direction
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.
@LucyBrown0915 Too general. The arrangement changes where loads pass through the cartons. Your packaging reviewer needs the actual construction and support geometry to judge it
@RobinCarter1034 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.
@OliverAdams0102 Specify the deck arrangement as well as the footprint. Two pallets with the same outside size needn't provide the same support underneath.
@OliverAdams0102 For access, show the whole tool beside neighbouring cartons at the corner placements. The centre mark won't reveal body or finger overlap
@RobinCarter1034 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.
