Pally offers the possibility to Palletize two different products from two different conveyors at the same time.

 

Follow these steps to set up Dual Product Mode:

 

  1. Enable Secondary conveyor and calibrate the pickup position:

     

  2. Add product sensors for the second conveyor

     

  3. Select Dual Product in the operation mode menu under Advanced in the installations file.

     

You have now activated Dual Product Mode in Pally and it is ready to start palletizing. See example below on how to start palletizing different products.

 

Note:

  • line 1 is the primary pickup position and line 2 is the secondary pickup position. The names can also be changed in the “Pickup” tab.

  • When using a lifting column in dual product mode, the dynamic positioning option must be selected in order to ensure that the lifting column is always in the optimal position.

  • Boxes from the left conveyor goes to the left pallet. Boxes from the right conveyor goes to the right pallet
