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.
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.
