This automatic corner post application on a turntable stretch wrapper uses an ABB IRB 1200 to pick up a corner post from a magazine stack, fold it then apply tack adhesive.

The robot:

• scans the corner of the pallet for accurate placement of the corner post.
• applies one layer of stretch wrapping to the pallet before attaching the corner posts.
• then applies another layer of stretch wrapping to hold the posts in place permanently.
