FlexLink AB

The RC10 from FlexLink is a standardized palletizing cell, designed to gently palletize your products with consistent quality and precision.

Operator safety
Ensuring operator safety and reducing injury risk is key in any industry; the collaborative robot allows for safe palletizing alongside operators, without the need for fencing or caging. Should an operator come within contact of the robotic arm, the robot will automatically stop, reducing risk of operator injury.

FlexLink conducts extensive third-party testing for the robotic palletizing system and follows ISO standard TS 15066 for collaborative robots, instilling confidence in operators that they can work in conjunction with the robotic palletizing system without risk.

Compact, flexible, and mobile robotic palletizers
In comparison to other available robots, the RC10 uses up to 50% less floor space. This provides more production line space and facilitates better floor access for operators. Thanks to the docking station design, the robotic palletizing system also allows for maximum flexibility, intended to be moved with ease across the production line as needed.

With this flexibility, the RC10 can be moved and plugged in as necessary, giving the freedom to use it in different production areas as required. Without complicated programming, the robotic palletizing system can simply be plugged in and it's ready to go, adding to its flexibility throughout the production facility. 

Intuitive
Configuration layouts for the robot are created and changed simply using the tablet application program, with no need for complicated programming or ongoing training. 

FlexLink's standard collaborative robot system is designed to palletize based on the pattern created by the operator from the tablet application. However, where this standard solution may not fit, with over 700 robotic installations worldwide, FlexLink has the knowledge and experience to create customized installations to deliver the right palletizing solution.

Whether a production line covers multiple products or palletizing of heavier goods, FlexLink can help.

Line design and layout
Use FlexLink’s Design Tool to create a custom production line layout, including the robotic palletizing system, and get a preliminary validation of the capacity from the in-built simulation program.

Pallet and puck handling systems permit efficent single piece flow solutions. Each can be adapted to varying environments, from medical device assembly to engine component production. A controlled flow of individual products are assured throughout the manufacturing process.

Twin track pallet systems handle individual products on product carriers (pallets). The pallet conveyors are suitable for assembly and test processes in particular. Twin track pallets are also used if the product has a considerable size or weight.

Configurable standard modules make it easy and fast to create simple as well as advanced layouts for routing, balancing, buffering and positioning of pallets. RFID identification in the pallets enables one piece track-and-trace and production control of the line.
