Robotic depalletizing for various load configurations

What does PANTHER do

Our depalletizing systems are designed with a modular approach that adapts to the line’s requirements and the type of product being handled. PANTHER is Ercopac’s automatic depalletizer developed for the robotic handling of pallets with various load configurations: whether dealing with empty bottles, cases, cans, trays, or other formats, the system adapts to the product and packaging without compromising precision or operational continuity.

The system operates at the beginning of the production line, upstream of production or packaging: it picks up complete layers or individual packages from the pallet, transfers them in a controlled manner, and feeds the downstream line, ensuring constant and synchronized flow.

The machine handles the main load configurations: interlayer, inverted tray, and tray, on Euro pallets, industrial pallets, and American pallets.

Gripping flexibility and layout configuration

PANTHER is equipped with multi-format gripping heads that can be configured according to the product type and specific application. The available configurations are:

  • Vacuum head
  • Gripper head
  • Multi-format heads
  • Custom solutions based on the product being handled
carosello_01_crop_1920x1080
carosello_04_crop_1920x1080
carosello_03_crop_1920x1080
carosello_02_crop_1920x1080

The universal gripper PANTHER is the standard configuration: it ensures maximum flexibility in both application and layout configuration. Depending on requirements, the heads can also be equipped for handling sheets, pallets, and frames.

Safety and Operational Continuity

One of PANTHER’s distinctive features is its anti-drop system, implemented through electronic safety devices integrated into the robot’s motor. In the event of a power outage or emergency stop, the suspended load is held in place, eliminating the risk of accidental release and protecting both the product and the operators.

PANTHER also eliminates the risks typically associated with manual handling of incoming pallets: downtime, inconsistent rhythms, the need for dedicated operators, and safety risks related to handling heavy loads.

The Panther universal gripper ensures maximum flexibility of both application and layout configuration.

Accessory handling: inter-layer pads, straps, and caps

PANTHER fully automates pallet preparation prior to depalletizing. The system integrates the removal of accessories such as inter-layer pads, straps, and caps, eliminating slow and non-standardized manual operations. 

OPTIONS

Available options

PANTHER can be configured with the following options:

  • Horizontal strap remover
  • Carton cap corner cutting system
  • Manual pallet unwrapping zone

When to choose PANTHER

When you need a continuous and stable supply to the line

Ideal for eliminating interruptions and ensuring a constant flow downstream. PANTHER synchronizes depalletizing with the pace of the production line, without creating bottlenecks.

When you want to automate incoming pallet handling

Perfect for replacing slow, non-standardized manual operations, reducing reliance on operators and increasing process repeatability.

When working on high-speed lines

Designed to handle high speeds of up to 200 layers/hour without compromising precision and reliability. Robot MTBF up to 80,000 hours.

When you need to handle interlayers, strapping, or caps

Fully automates pallet preparation before depalletizing: no dedicated operator, no downtime between pallets.

When you want to improve safety and operational efficiency

Reduces the risk to operators associated with manually handling heavy loads and increases process continuity, with a fall prevention system integrated into the robot motor.
