In the world of palletisation, finding solutions that combine efficiency, flexibility, and precision is
essential. When it comes to moving boxes and packages from the line to the pallet, it is common to
have to handle items of different shapes and weights. The three Octopus bars, featured in the following
video, demonstrate exceptional ease of use, extreme precision in load positioning, and a level of
cleanliness in application that rarely meets its match.
This technology eliminates the complexity of traditional mechanical grippers, replacing them with a
flexible and reliable system capable of adapting to different sizes without the need to change the gripping hand. Octopus is particularly noted for its ability to handle objects with irregular or rough
surfaces, adapting perfectly to various types of materials and shapes.
The Octopus system can be equipped with interchangeable suction planes, fitted with sponge rubber or
bellows suction cups, depending on specific application needs. Moreover, all components of the
Octopus are designed to be easily dismantled and inspected, making cleaning and maintenance
operations simple and fast.
Thanks to these and other features, many end users are updating their facilities, often equipped with
now obsolete mechanical grippers, and are moving towards the operational flexibility of Octopus.
To facilitate this transformation, Vuototecnica offers a unique service: at its Beverate di Brivio
headquarters, customers can test their specific applications in a dedicated test area equipped with
anthropomorphic and portal robots. This opportunity allows for modifying facilities with certainty of
feasibility and the expected outcome.
Vuototecnica test area is not just a space for technical checks but a real innovation lab, where customers
can simulate the entire gripping and palletization process. The possibility to test the Octopus system
before installation offers operational security that few other suppliers can guarantee.
