Palletizer for AUBO Robots - Installation Manual 

 Ver. 1.7  

Electrical gripper  

The system further supports the use of mechanical grippers. 

Outputs: 

DO_02: MechanicalGripper, high signal = close gripper

 

DO_03: MechanicalGripper, high signal = open gripper (an inverted version of U_DO_D02)

 

 

4.2.

 

Wiring the photoelectric sensors 

One  photoelectric  sensor  is  placed  on  each  corner  of  the  palletizer  base  to  detect  pallets.  One 
additional photoelectric sensor is placed on the conveyor to detect when a package present (see 
figure 9). If using sheets, a photoelectric sensor is placed at the sheet station to detect when sheets 
are present. For single/double conveyors sensor placement, see figure 10 and 11 on the following 
page.
