Security in palletizers demand solutions that lower the costs of installing and wiring
Currently on the market there are two groups of palletizers depending on the method of entry / exit of pallets in the robotic palletizing. These two methods can be by motorized rollers or by truck (colloquially called bull). This big difference in applications is due to the manner of conducting the muting (inhibition of the security barriers) to allow the entry / exit of the pallets or trans pallet.

Drafting MU
In the case of entry / exit of pallets through a system of motorized rollers the muting is done by detecting the pallet itself as it enters / exits through the security barrier. While in the case of entry / departure of pallets with a transpallet, which is detected for muting their own transpallet.
Another classification of palletizers is done by the place of entry of material and at the exits of pallets. This classification is divided into Type I, Type U, type Y and type YN.
A somewhat more recent trend and not to interrupt the robotic palletizing in palletizers U with input / output through transpallet is to divide the robot in two areas of work, allowing the transpallet to the area where it is not working. If the robot tries to access another area, the muting is canceled and the barrier stops the robot. This distinction of zones is done through the end of career security.
