FullSharp installed a Lifts All articulating arm with a quick-change PIAB vacuum pad in a logistics warehouse that handles many carton sizes in a single shift. Changing box size only means unpinning one pad and fitting another, and the jointed arm reaches, folds and swings to pick boxes from awkward spots without workers carrying them by hand.
A warehouse has to handle many different box sizes within a single shift. If the pad only fits one type of box, every order change means a lengthy swap, and workers carrying boxes by hand see productivity drop off steadily toward the end of the shift.
FullSharp installs a Lifts All articulating arm with a quick-change PIAB vacuum pad. Switching box sizes only takes removing the pad and attaching another, while the joints let the arm reach, fold, and swing in multiple directions to pick up goods even in hard-to-reach spots.
A Lifts All articulating arm fitted with a PIAB vacuum pad lifting a carton box in a loading area.
The quick-change pad lets you switch box sizes without long stoppages.
The joints let the arm fold and thread between stacks of goods.
The equipment carries the box's weight, so the pace doesn't slow toward the end of the shift.
Use a quick-change vacuum pad. In this project the pad is held by a pin, so the operator can swap to a pad that matches the next box size in minutes instead of stopping the line for a long changeover.
The arm segments are connected by joints, so it can reach out, fold back and swing in several directions. That lets it pick boxes in tight or hard-to-reach places, such as deep in a pallet or near a truck door.
Common places are logistics warehouses and distribution centers, pallet and truck loading areas, packaging and printing plants, and consumer goods packing lines where boxes are lifted all day.
FullSharp reviews the box sizes you run, the heaviest weight, and the stack height. Our engineers select the right reach for the articulating arm along with a matching vacuum pad, then install and test it with each type of box you use.
