Southgate will be showcasing its new RSW6 robotic pallet wrapper at the Multimodal 2018 show, NEC Birmingham, on 1-3 May, stand 2090.
The RSW6 incorporates several features; loading the film is fast and easy; if the film breaks during the wrapping cycle; and a patented roller design prevents the loose end from re-entering the film carriage.
Following the pallet perimeter, the robot completes a complete wrapping cycle without further operator assistance, and only requires 1.15 metres clearance around the pallet to operate.
Also, the film carriage pre-stretches the film as it is dispensed to give a 50-67% reduction in film usage and enhanced load stability.
Stretch film is rapidly and easily loaded onto the film carriage with minimal downtime and zero error. The feed mechanism also prevents a loose film end from re-entering the carriage and causing jams.
Southgate said pallets can be double or single wrapped and you can independently program the number of reinforced wrap layers at the top, middle and base of the pallet.
The RSW6 is equipped with a micro switched nudge bar that will stop the wrapper if it hits an obstacle. An anti-fall mechanism on the mast will hold the film carriage in place should the usual mechanism fail.
