Robotic Metal Pan Palletizing
Robotic Metal Pan Palletizing
This system replaced a manual stacking system with at least 4 people per shift at a bakery. The operators had ergonomic lifting problems, inability to stack the empty pans properly on the take-away pallets, violated safety & cleanliness guidelines in handling the empty pans & found difficulty in stacking the different pan models (14) properly by model.
Sunshine TOOL designed & implemented a completely automatic robotic palletizing system consisting of the following items:
- Palletizing robot with mounting pedestal
- Transfer conveyor system
- End of arm tooling, software, installation & integration
After many months of use, the customer reported the following improvements:
- Proper & stable stacking on the takeaway pallets very consistently
- Proper stacking of each model pan regardless of batch run
- No human hand touching of product pans
- Faster palletizing to match increasing product demand

Bon Appétit Robotic Bakery Pan Palletizing System
This bakery pan palletizing system is an example of the flexible robotic material handling systems Sunshine TOOL produces for challenging customer applications. The key to the system is the SINGLE robotic end-of-arm tooling we designed & manufactured to grasp & stack 14 different pan sizes. Each pan size has its own palletizing stack pattern & requires delicate handling so as to not damage the pan as it fits very tightly into high-speed bread baking machines & ovens.
Sunshine Tool excels at designing & manufacturing robust material handling solutions which make it easy for our customers to use, update & have very long life with minimal maintenance. Let us work with you & your team to come up with a practical, cost-effective, serviceable & productive solution for your automation projects.
