New LINAK lifting column for cobot palletisers: Reach new heights

To realise the potential for the palletising of goods in production and other industries, you need flexible, easy-to-use and affordable cobot solutions that can adjust to your different palletising setups and generate rapid return on investment.

With our new ELEVATE™ lifting column, we have extended the working reach of cobot palletisers, allowing you to palletise higher. It simultaneously delivers the speed, precision and flexibility required to optimise your palletising processes. Easy setup, programming and system monitoring help you boost performance across a wide range of cobot brands and models.

The Danish system integrator BILA A/S is one of the customers that got to test the column before we launched it, and we are happy that they are impressed.
Here is what Product Manager Brian Spetzler had to say:
“Our experience with the ELEVATE lifting column has only been positive. It is easy to set up, and the intuitive software plays a key role, as it enables fast configuration as well as re-configuration. This is important in productions, where the setup is not permanent, and needs can change. In modern productions and warehouses, we see a trend towards automated palletising, and with increasing freight costs, palletising in height has become vital. These are some of the reasons we are excited about the ELEVATE column.”

New levels of performance

With its high lifting speed and optional simultaneous run, ELEVATE boosts your palletiser performance to match the cycle time of your production line. The lifting speed is constant with up to 100 mm/sec. and is independent of load. The column can be fully extracted in less than 10 seconds.

Accurate palletising at its finest

With a brushless motor and an integrated controller, ELEVATE gives you high position accuracy, while proven slider technology keeps the cobot steady and able to withstand high bending moments.

Fits into multiple designs

The integrated controller allows for compact size and eliminates the need for external control boxes. This makes ELEVATE extremely space-saving and easy to integrate, while reducing the complexity of the whole palletiser system.

Flexibility with a choice of interfaces

Three interface options – ELEVATE Easy, Pro or Modbus – offer you the level of control and feedback required by a specific task, and data enables smooth troubleshooting, diagnostics and optimisation of performance. With these interfaces, ELEVATE is compatible with a wide range of cobots. Accessories such as cobot mounting plates make it easy and fast for you to set up – and quickly reach new heights in palletiser performance.
