Cobot Palletizing and Depalletizing Videos

Automated palletizing systems with FANUC cobot palletizers offer greater flexibility to handle, build and transfer pallets and products. Our collaborative palletizers will help boost productivity and profitability while helping ease labor shortage challenges.

Benefits of Palletizing with Cobots

Cobots offer a transformative solution for modern warehouse environments, addressing the challenges of labor shortages and the demanding nature of manual palletizing. By automating this end-of-line application, cobots provide a multitude of benefits:

Small Footprint

Palletizing cobots offer a smaller footprint, saving you the cost per foot in a manufacturing facility. Plus, our solutions can be creatively and flexibly installed in tight spaces.

Versatility

Versatile end-of-arm tooling can handle multiple types of containers at a time, including cases, bags, pails, bottles, batteries, cubes of scrap metal, and plastic containers.

Adaptability

Cobot palletizing solutions can easily accommodate different pallet patterns and product types. They can handle one or more units at a time and can form multiple layers on a pallet after picking the products off of a conveyor.

Multi-tasking

Palletizing cobots can be programmed to handle multiple infeeds of different SKUs on the same line. Vision systems can be used to send information to the cobot so it can pick and place different SKUs on different pallets.

Cobot Palletizing Software

FANUC offers several software packages to help you automate your palletizing solution quickly and easily.

NEW PalletTool® 3

FANUC’s PalletTool® 3 allows operators to create and modify unit loads directly from the Tablet TP right on the floor. Users can simply input product dimensions and the software provides a list of possible pallet patterns as well as the space efficiency for each pattern. 

PalletTool® Turbo

The PalletTool Turbo II package is designed to reduce the setup of robotic palletizing applications with a software bundle that includes PalletTool 4D. FANUC’s simulation software, PalletPRO, is also included in this package and allows for offline programming and creation of unit loads that can then be downloaded to the robot controller.

PalletPRO

As a plugin to ROBOGUIDE, PalletPRO is a PC simulation software that allows users to build a complete palletizing work cell layout, including infeed and pallet stations, slip sheet and pallet dispensers. Hundreds of unit load pallet configurations can be created and visualized in 3D using PalletPRO’s built-in library of industry standard patterns. The data created in PalletPRO can be downloaded to a FANUC controller containing PalletTool software.

CRX 30i A Food Grade Collaborative Robot Palletizer

What is Cobot Palletizing?

Whether you’re stacking individual boxes, bags, pails or drums, palletizing items onto pallets for storage or shipping is a process that can be automated. FANUC’s palletizing cobots offer efficient , steady and reliable end-of-line automation inside warehouses and facilities for a variety of product sizes and weights. The CRX line of collaborative robots, offering payloads up to 30 kg, can carefully move items to and from pallets—with simple drag-and-drop programming and easy hand guidance—right alongside human workers. For heavy-duty applications, FANUC’s CR-35iB can lift up to 50kg.

Cobot Palletizing FAQs

In a cobot palletizing application, items are delivered to a cobot that identifies the product — often using vision sensors and technologies — and then picks it up. The cobot then places the product onto a pallet and repeats this process until as many layers as necessary are complete.

Price ranges for automated palletizing systems can vary greatly, depending on the requirements of the end user. Cobot systems, however, are generally less expensive than traditional robot solutions that require additional safety infrastructure. And in many cases, pre-engineered solutions like FANUC’s selection of Cobot-and-Go solutions, can be especially cost effective.

FANUC’s line of flexible CRX cobots can handle payloads of up to 30 kg (or 66 lbs) while the company’s CR-35iB can manage payloads up to 50 kg. Additionally, the line of CRX cobots boasts an impressive reach of up to 1889 mm. 

Cobots are a natural fit for high-mix, low-volume palletizing tasks. With AI vision, palletizing software and a wide range of end-of-arm tooling supplied by FANUC Approved Device Partners, cobots can work as flexibly as needed.

The FANUC CRX cobot is the only cobot on the market with FANUC reliability, offering 8 years of ​“Zero Maintenance” on motors, reducers, sensors, cables and grease. The CRX has FANUC industrial-strength reliability proven through accelerated life tests on the following parts: castings, reducers, cables, sensors and PCBs.
