A system and method for moving carton stacks from a pallet to a receiving position, where the system comprises an industrial robot provided with a gripping head, where the system comprises at least one position for a pallet holding several carton stacks, a receiving position arranged to receive a carton stack in a vertical orientation, and a waste bin for receiving cut holding straps, where a carton stack is moved from a horizontal position at the pallet to a vertical position at the receiving position by the robot, where the strap is cut off by the gripping head at the receiving position, and that the strap is held by the gripping head and moved to the waste bin, where the strap is released into the waste bin. The advantage of the invention is that a carton stack can be moved to a vertical position at a conveyor.
A system (1) for moving carton stacks (3) from a pallet (2) to a receiving position (7), where each of the carton stacks (3) is held together by a strap (36), where the receiving position (7) comprises at least one carton support adapted to support the carton stacks (3) in a vertical position, the system comprising:
The system according to claim 21, wherein the gripping head (20) comprises a plurality of vacuum cups (22), and that the cutting module (24) is adapted to move from a start position (37) to a cutting position (38) in which the strap (36) is embraced by the cutting module (24), and where a holding means (35) is adapted to hold the strap
A method for moving a carton stack from a pallet to a receiving position, said method comprising the steps of:
The method according to claim 22, wherein the method further comprises the step of:
The system according to claim 21, wherein the gripping head (20) comprises a plurality of vacuum cups (22), and that the cutting module (24) is adapted to move from a start position (37) to a cutting position (38) in which the strap (36) is embraced by the cutting module (24), and where a holding means (35) is adapted to hold the strap (36) when the cutting module (24) has cut the strap (36).
