Robotic palletiser configurations and end-of-arm tooling

A robotic palletiser uses an industrial robot arm to pick and place products (cases, bags, buckets, drums, trays) onto a pallet in a defined pattern. Robot palletisers offer greater flexibility than conventional layer palletisers for operations with multiple product formats, frequent pallet pattern changes, and lower throughput requirements where a full layer palletiser is not justified. Robot types used for palletising: 4-axis articulated robot (SCARA-type or 4-axis floor-mount) — the standard for palletising; 4-axis robots are optimised for the horizontal plane picking and placing typical of palletising; fast, reliable, and widely used; payload capacities from 50kg to 300kg+ for heavy-duty bag palletising; 6-axis articulated robot — more flexible (can reach any orientation in 3D space); used when products must be picked in unusual orientations or when the robot performs multiple operations (palletising + case erecting); higher cost than 4-axis. Gantry robot — a Cartesian overhead gantry; suitable for very large footprint pallet areas or multi-line palletising from one robot. Delta robot — used for light, high-speed picking (packing chocolate, biscuits into trays) but not typical for heavy palletising. End-of-arm tooling (EOAT) is critical for palletising and must be matched to the product: vacuum suction cups — for cases, cartons, and shrink-wrapped products with a flat, air-impermeable surface; mechanical gripper — for bags (woven PP or PE), which cannot be vacuum-picked effectively; fork/plate EOAT — slides under a bag or large case to lift without gripping; mixed gripper + vacuum — for lines handling multiple product types. Safety guarding: all industrial robot palletisers require CE-compliant safety guarding: interlocked perimeter guarding, safety light curtains at the pallet exchange area, safety-rated PLC monitoring robot reach; AMR (autonomous mobile robot) guidance for flexible pallet positioning is available on modern cell designs.

Frequently asked questions

What payload robot is needed for 25kg bag palletising?

For 25kg bags, a robot with a payload of 50–100kg is typically used — the EOAT (mechanical gripper or fork plate) adds 10–30kg to the payload requirement, so the total robot payload must cover the bag weight plus EOAT weight. For example: a 25kg bag plus a 15kg fork EOAT requires a robot rated for at least 40kg payload; a safety margin of 1.5–2× is standard, so a 60–80kg payload robot is recommended. FANUC M-410iC, KUKA KR 210, ABB IRB 6700, and similar heavy-duty palletising robots are commonly used for 25–50kg bag applications.

Can a robot palletiser also depalletise (unstack pallets)?

Yes. The same robot and EOAT can typically be programmed for both palletising (stacking) and depalletising (unstacking) operations. Depalletising requires the robot to detect or know the position of each layer and product on the inbound pallet — this is typically done by entering the pallet pattern into the robot's pattern software, or by integrating a 3D vision or layer-detection system. Robotic depalletisers are used in food manufacturing to unstack cases from inbound pallets and place them onto production conveyors, and in beverage bottling to unstack empty bottle crates or cases. For more challenging mixed-SKU depalletising (random pallet configurations from distribution), 3D vision-guided robots are used.

What is the typical footprint of a robot palletiser cell?

A single-robot palletiser cell serving one infeed and one pallet position typically requires 4m × 6m to 6m × 8m of floor space, including the safety guarding perimeter. The footprint depends on the robot reach radius, the number of pallet positions (one active pallet + one or more buffer positions for empty pallet staging and full pallet removal), and the infeed conveyor length. Multi-line cells serving two or more infeeds require more floor space for the additional conveyors and buffer positions but less total space than multiple single-robot cells. Compact robot palletiser cells using collaborative robots can be installed in 3m × 4m footprints for lower-payload applications.
