1. An adaptable spacer roping installation system comprising:
a robot for positioning adjacent a palletizing surface; the robot being equipped with a tool head having a length and that is adapted for receiving and dispensing a plurality of ropes, each from a different one of a number of dispensing positions along the length of the tool head; and
a rope-positioning system for positioning adjacent the palletizing surface; the rope-positioning system having a width and including at least a same number of grippers along its width than the number of dispensing positions along the tool head; the grippers being so positioned along the width of the rope-positioning bar to allow grippers thereon gripping in unison the plurality of ropes dispensed by the tool head;
whereby, in operation, the robot being movable from a first position, wherein the tool head is so positioned relative to the rope-positioning bar that each of the dispensing positions is registered and adjacent a respective one of the grippers, to a second position, wherein the tool head is positioned distanced from the rope-positioning system, parallel thereto, above the palletizing surface.
