Hannafin’s Newest Manufacturing Solution
Recently, Hannafin introduced a new product, a palletizer. We know that the concept of a palletizer is not new, but here’s what’s new about the Hannafin palletizer:
Like other palletizers, this collaborative robot takes cartons or cases and stacks them to be shipped. Hannafin has collected the best components of palletizers to create a new and innovative tool for manufacturers.
The Hannafin palletizer features include:
PLUG AND PLAY: requiring only 110 volts AC and pneumatics, and because Hannafin conducts testing at their facilities, users need to only plug in their palletizer and are ready to go.
SAFETY: unlike other palletizers, which require a cage, operators can be around the machine when it is in use.
PHSR: pre-health safety review and all fields inspected by local Ontario inspection agencies are already included, ensuring users can plug in their palletizer and start using right away.
MOBILE AND CUSTOMIZABLE: the palletizer can be produced in a variety of sizes, making it easily mobile with a small footprint. Hannafin can also customize the robotic arm tool, with up to 8 configurations at a time.
SPEED TO USE: the Hannafin palletizer can be in your facility in 9 weeks and ready for use 10 weeks from purchase whereas other products can take a year.
Companies in the Bay of Quinte are already using the Hannafin palletizer, including custom packaging companies and food manufacturers.
