Okura - A robot palletizer not a standard industrial robot used to perform a palletizing function. In November 2004, Okura announced that the 100th Okura robot palletizer had been sold in Europe - with a majority in The Netherlands and the UK. Advanced technology Okura robots now include touch screen control panel with powerful, user friendly operating system, able to monitor and record robot performance during every shift and operating period. All Okuras now include an on-board PLC, fully integrated with the robot operating system. This PLC is used for controlling ancillary devices. The PLC is used to control items such as product in-feed conveyors, pallet conveyors, pallet magazine / de-stacker, sheet feeders. Total Control The seamless interface between the robots operating software and the control of ancillary equipment such as pallet handling conveyors. Safety and Speed All Okura robots use 'absolute encoders' therefore the robot can be restarted from the position at which it stops - it is not neccessary for you to manually bring the robot to the rest position and then power up, and restart the robot whcih takes time. On our competitors machine this results in dangerous operating practices as the operators do anything rather than waste the time and loss of production which results when a robot is stopped. Service throughout the UK Spare parts are availabe from Webster Griffin, or Okura Europe, The Netherlands, within 24 hours.
