In modern production lines, automated equipment has become an indispensable part. Among them, palletizing robots are widely used. However, have you ever thought about whether there are related hidden dangers in your factory?
Let’s first look at some common palletizing robots. For example, OCME Palletizer and Newtec Palletizer are common brands of palletizing robots on the market. They have won the recognition of a large number of users with their efficient work performance and stable operation performance. However, even such high-end equipment cannot avoid the possibility of failures during use.
In addition, OnRobot Palletizing and Automatic Robotic Palletizer, although they greatly improve production efficiency, their complex operating systems and precise mechanical structures also make maintenance work extremely difficult. Once a failure occurs, it may have a serious impact on the entire production line.
Similarly, equipment such as Alvey 910 Palletizer, Krones Palletizer, Case Palletizing Robot, Bulk Palletizer, and Beumer Palletizer, although they have their own characteristics in design and performance, there may be various potential safety hazards during use.
Therefore, for factories, choosing the right palletizing robot is not an easy task. While choosing equipment, you also need to consider the maintenance cost of the equipment and the possible safety hazards. Only in this way can the stable operation of the production line be ensured, and the safety of employees can be guaranteed.
In summary, palletizing robots undoubtedly bring great convenience to factory production. However, we must not ignore the potential dangers in it. As managers of factories, we need to be vigilant at all times to ensure the smooth progress of production.
In reviewing the past ten years of history, we find that the accidents caused by palletizing robots, resulting in casualties, are shocking. However, when we analyze these accidents, it’s not hard to see how easily these problems could have been avoided. Tragedy is terrifying, yet easily preventable. Here are some related issues summarized by Tengyang, hoping that more enterprise-related personnel can understand and prevent the recurrence of tragedy.
The outlet of materials has not been reasonably protected, and it is far from enough to simply use a warning sign or require an isolation workflow. Safety management should be the steps taken in risk reduction.
When maintaining the bottom of the palletizing robot, due to the lack of a mechanical locking device, injuries caused by the falling of the stacking device occur.
For personnel who open the interlock switch and enter the danger zone, due to the failure of the palletizing lifting part, such as chain breakage, if the palletizing part does not have a mechanical locking device (mechanical palletizing robot) or a check valve (hydraulic palletizing robot), it will cause the danger of the palletizing platform falling.
After reading the above three issues, have you realized whether there are similar hidden dangers in your factory?
