Stackers/Palletizers — Safety Comes First

RIMA also has a line of palletizing solutions, led by the RS 700 gantry-type robot, which is able to serve anywhere from four lines to four pallets, six lines to six pallets, and eight lines to eight pallets. The RS 410 is similar to the 700, but is capable of much faster speeds.

One of the leading factors influencing the manufacture of stackers and palletizers is new capacity, according to John St. John, president of Systems Technology (STI).
