1.1.2.Robotiq ControlBox
All the components of the Solution are integrated and controlled via the Robotiq control box. It allowsfor the motion of the robot
during a palletizing process, and the control of the pallet sensors and statuslights.
1.1.3.Standalone Post
The Solution includes a post to which a push button enclosure, statuslights and teach pendant rack are attached. The post can
either be mounted to the base or positioned elsewhere, adjacent to the base.
1.1.4.Pallet Sensors
The Solution iscomposed of two (2)sensors used to detect pallet presence (one for each side of the solution).
1.1.5.StatusLights
Two (2)statuslights are positioned at the top of the post adjacent to the base. Each statuslight is associated with the nearest
pallet. The color of the light gives information on the status of the system or the state of a specific pallet. Please refer to the Status
Light Statessection for more information.
1.1.6.PowerPick20 VacuumGripper(Optional)
PowerPick20 isa vacuum gripper that uses a venturi system to generate vacuum from a compressed air energy source. The
PowerPick Gripper interfaces with the robot via input/output (I/O) cablesconnected directly to the robot controller.
The kit consists of a gripper, multiple suction cups and interchangeable components, along with a dual-channel vacuum
generation unit. The unit also includes a shut-off valve and an integrated filter regulator.
Itsdesign issuitable for the Robotiq Palletizing Solution when used with a UR20 robot (weight, payload, independently
controllable channels).

1.1.7.BoxDetectionSensor
The Solution includes a box sensor that needs to be installed at the end of the conveyor, and positioned so that it triggers a signal
when a box is at the picking position.
