Flexlink Introduces the RC12 standardized collaborative palletizer
The RC12 collaborative robot palletizer efficiently handles payloads of up to 10 kg at a rate of up to 14 boxes per minute with a double-pick gripper.
FlexLink announced the launch of the new RC12, the latest addition to our range of collaborative palletizers. As their third-generation model and building on the innovation they pioneered more than 10 years ago, the RC12 is designed to enhance production efficiency while ensuring operator safety and simplifying the palletizing process.
The RC12 collaborative robot palletizer efficiently handles payloads of up to 10 kg at a rate of up to 14 boxes per minute with a double-pick gripper. With no need for a surrounding fence or cage, it maintains a small footprint (under 10 m²), allowing for flexible installation in various settings.
Designed to comply with ISO/TS 15066 standards, the RC12 provides enhanced safety with optimized gripper and safety padding, allowing it to work side-by-side with operators. Equipped with Omron’s TM12-S robot arm, it ensures uninterrupted operations and high efficiency.
With the Robot Config software, operators can create new pallet patterns or modify existing ones in under 5 minutes without any programming expertise, using a simple drag-and-drop interface. This intuitive setup reduces design errors and significantly speeds up configuration time.
The RC12 introduces key innovations that set it apart in the world of automation:
- Standardized and open for customization: The RC12 combines the reliability of a standardized product with the flexibility to adapt to specific production needs.
- Unmatched safety: The RC12 is the safest collaborative palletizer available on the market, with advanced safety mechanisms to protect operators while maintaining high OEE.
- Ease-of-use: The intuitive software and user-friendly interface make it easy to operate, reducing the learning curve and minimizing downtime.
- Compact footprint: Ideal for space-constrained environments, the RC12 reduces the footprint of traditional palletizers by over 50%.
- Latest robot arm: The RC12 is equipped with Omron’s TM12-S, the latest collaborative robot arm technology that ensures efficient and seamless operations.
