Palletizing Robots: Buying Guide, Prices and Models
A palletizing robot stacks cases, bags or trays onto pallets at the end of a line, and a depalletizing robot does the reverse, replacing the most injury-prone manual job in packaging.
660 robots in our catalogue are tagged to the 2 applications in this guide.
Palletizing is where many plants buy their first robot: the task is repetitive, the loads are heavy, and the pattern is predictable. Articulated arms handle high rates and heavy cases; collaborative palletizers trade speed for a smaller footprint and easier redeployment; gantry systems cover multiple lines.
Mixed-SKU and depalletizing cells add vision and software to recognise case sizes and build stable, order-specific pallets. The application pages below separate those two jobs; the models tagged to each come from the catalogue.
Applications
What to look for
- Payload and reach
- Payload must cover the heaviest case plus the gripper; reach must cover the full pallet height at the far corner, typically 1.8 to 2.4 m stack heights on a standard pallet footprint.
- Rate
- Cycles per minute at your case weight decides whether one robot keeps up with the line. Cobot palletizers typically manage 8 to 13 cycles per minute; industrial arms go well beyond that.
- Gripper and case types
- Vacuum grippers suit sealed cases; mechanical or clamp grippers handle bags, trays and shrink-wrapped bundles. Mixed loads need a gripper that adapts and a vision system that reads case dimensions.
- Safety and footprint
- Industrial cells need guarding and light curtains; collaborative palletizers rely on force limiting and area scanners so operators can swap pallets without stopping the line.
- Pattern software
- Pallet-pattern software should let line staff build and change patterns without programming, and handle slip sheets, interlocking layers and multiple pallet stations.
