Robotic palletising cell
One robot serving one or several lines, hundreds to over a thousand cases per hour, around the clock.
One robot serving one or several lines, hundreds to over a thousand cases per hour, around the clock.
A robotic palletising cell uses a four- or six-axis robot to stack cartons, sacks or pails from the end of a production line onto pallets in a programmed pattern. One robot can serve 2–4 low-speed lines in turn, provided their combined case rate stays within the robot's cycle rate. The gripper is a clamp, vacuum or fork type to suit the product, or a hybrid. The cell includes case infeed, empty-pallet supply, full-pallet outfeed and safety fencing. Patterns are edited in software, not in the mechanics.
Typical uses
- End of line in food and beverage, household goods and building materials
- Sack palletising (flour, feed, chemicals)
- Store-level pallet build in distribution centres
- Several slow lines sharing one robot
