I'm reviewing an alternating layer pattern for our planned palletising sealed product cartons with Fairino FR10 in a packaged-products warehouse. Although the drawing fits the cartons neatly, a sealed corrugated shipping 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.
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.
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.
@AaronBrown0871 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.
@EllaBarnes0555 Agreed; I meant a comparison option. Packaging must assess both arrangements with the specified cartons and contents, including support and stability.
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.
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 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.
