Challenges
The optical industry presents a unique set of obstacles when it comes to automated palletizing of finished products
Product Fragility
Lenses and optical components are delicate and prone to damage. Rigid grippers or forceful movements risk scratching or breakage.
Product Diversity
The vast array of shapes and sizes in optical products, ranging from miniature lenses to large frames, presents a challenge for designing a single, universally applicable palletizing solution. Traditional systems often struggle to adapt to this level of product variation.
Surface Sensitivity
Optical components have delicate coatings that can be damaged by contact. Gentle handling and meticulous techniques are essential.
Precise Palletization
Optical products need precise pallet positioning. Traditional robots may lack the dexterity, risking misplacement and inefficiencies.
High-Value Products
Given the value of optical products, minimizing damage during palletizing is crucial, as drops or scratches cause significant financial losses.
