Reducing Operational Costs & Improving Ergonomic Conditions with a New Robotic Palletizing System
With the installation of this robotic palletizing system, Johnson Controls was able to eliminate the manual handling of batteries in their palletizing operation. This was the 8th battery palletizing system Bastian has created for this customer and this particular system achieved an ROI of less than a year while exceeding system throughput requirements.

- Palletizing rate of over 22 batteries per minute
- Palletizing system must be capable of handling about 30 different SKU's
- Products range in size from 6" to 14" in length
- Over 70 different pallet patterns with availability to easily program new ones
- System is subjected to an extremely caustic environment and must withstand years of direct contact with hydrochloric (battery) acid
Drag Chain Pallet Conveyor
- ABB's Foundry 2 Plus palletizing robot has the capability to stand up to the harsh environment, as well as the reach, payload, and speed to produce the results required
- Bastian's robotic end of arm tooling combined with a revolutionary row forming conveyor that acts as an auxiliary axis to the robot makes palletizing so many different batteries possible
- ABB's auxiliary axis package also allows the robot to control the row forming conveyor and enabled us to handle so many different products
- Pallet conveyor
- Robotic controls
- Vision system for product identification
