A lift-off depalletizer lifts containers from the top layer of a pallet load on to a discharge conveyor. In this example the machine lifts a complete layer of containers on to a wide discharge conveyor. In other applications a single row of containers is lifted and placed on to a single line conveyor. Articulated industrial robots are often used for lift-off depalletizing. The example shown is based on a Cartesian (three axis) robot.
