Dual-use functionality

Boston Dynamics Stretch robot loading boxes into a trailer with Caljan Performer

Robotic mode

The robot fully controls the conveyor movement, while the integrated safety features ensure secure and efficient operation around the dock area.

Caljan mode

Operated manually, just like any other Caljan telescopic conveyor. The robot interface is disabled, giving operators complete control.

FAQ about Caljan Robotic Collaboration

Didn't find what you were looking for? Get in touch!

Can existing conveyors be upgraded later with a robotic interface?

Yes, a robotic interface can be installed on already operating Caljan telescopic conveyors.

Can the telescopic conveyor be used with operators for freight that the robots don’t handle?

Yes, there will be a key switch on the cabinet with two modes: robot and Caljan (manual) mode. This allows maximum flexibility for truck loading and unloading at the door.

What is the typical unloading rate for the telescopes with robotic collaboration?

The average trailer unloading rate is around 600–800 parcels per hour, but it can be adjusted to align with the robot’s unloading speed.

Can telescopic conveyors with robotic systems handle polybags?

Yes, Caljan conveyors are suitable for polybags, parcels, and envelopes of various sizes and weights. Polybag handling is dependent on the robotic technology used. To find the solution that fits your needs, apply for a free consultation with our product experts.

Are safety functions the same in both modes?

Yes, safety functions remain identical in both Caljan and robotic mode. All emergency stops are active at all times, ensuring operator safety.

How much energy does the robotic panel consume?

The robotic panel draws power from the facility’s main supply, pausing only when the telescopic conveyor is in motion. This ensures optimised energy use during operation.

How are robotic systems installed on telescopic conveyors?

The robot supplier equips the Caljan telescopic conveyor with a control panel and all essential devices. These are connected to the Caljan control panel through cables, ensuring consistent performance.
