Advanced Robotic Pallet Saw System by Pallet Sorting Systems
The Robotic Pallet Saw System from Pallet Sorting Systems (PSS) is designed to make pallet components reusable in an efficient, safe, and reliable way. Depending on your requirements, the system can be delivered with Ai4Pallets (fully automated) or without Ai4Pallets (semi-automated).
Comparison: With vs. Without Ai4Pallets
| Function / Process Step | With Ai4Pallets | Without Ai4Pallets |
|---|---|---|
| Pallet identification | Automatic – 3 × 2D cameras detect type, dimensions, and deck orientation | Operator manually selects 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-layer |
| Measurement & correction | 2 × 3D cameras measure and automatically correct the cutting profile | No automatic correction, profile follows operator |
| Feeding & orientation | Robot processes random pallet input | Operator must feed and align pallets correctly |
| Deck orientation | AI compensates for deviations | Manual placement, deck square to vacuum frame |
| HMI interaction | Minimal – monitoring only | Operator manually enters pallet type & size |
| Saw profile | Adaptive per pallet – automatically adjusts | Fixed line – no adjustments |
| Efficiency | High – consistent and accurate | Lower – operator-dependent, error-prone |
Technical features (both versions)
- Fanuc industrial robot with Joulin vacuum gripper
- Saw unit developed by PSS, optimized for robotic operation
- Saw profiles for 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-layer pallets
- Suitable for pallet lengths from 80 cm to 140 cm
- Controlled initial cuts prevent blade deviation with new saw blades
- Automatic speed adjustment based on material resistance
- Capacity: 45 to 60 pallets per hour, depending on the number of layers
Options & upgrades
- Ai4Pallets – Hardware & software for automatic pallet detection and correction (3 × 2D + 2 × 3D cameras, license)
- Conveyor belt beneath saw – automatic removal of sawdust and pallet parts
- Dust extraction with spark arrestor – approx. 80% less dust, improved safety, longer machine lifespan
Conclusion
- With Ai4Pallets: Fully automatic, minimal operator involvement, automatic correction of pallet dimensions, highest efficiency.
- Without Ai4Pallets: Semi-automated, more operator-dependent, no automatic correction, lower efficiency.
Both options deliver a robust, modular system that can be seamlessly integrated into existing or new pallet sorting and repair lines.
