What robots are used for palletizing?

Palletizing suits palletizing, 6 axis industrial robots. Examples include fanuc m 410ic, abb irb 460, yaskawa motoman mpl160, kawasaki cp180l.

What payload and reach does palletizing need?

Payload is typically 20 to 800 kg with reach around 2000 to 3400 mm.

What matters most for palletizing?

Layer pattern palletizing software. Vacuum, clamp, or fork gripper matched to product. Conveyor infeed synchronization. Full pallet footprint reach.

Application

Palletizing

Palletizing robots stack cases, bags, or totes onto pallets in a defined layer pattern, replacing manual stacking on high-throughput lines.

The robot picks a case or bag from an infeed conveyor and places it at a programmed position and orientation on the pallet, building up layers according to a pattern set in the palletizing software.

Reach and payload run high in this application because the robot has to cover a full pallet footprint and lift heavier product than most pick-and-place work, sometimes with multi-pack grippers carrying several cases at once.

Vacuum, clamp, or fork-style end effectors are chosen based on product packaging, and conveyor synchronization keeps the robot fed without gaps or collisions.
