Palletizing Robots and Cobots

As full-service robotic integrators, we excel in the realm of robotic palletizing. What is it? A robot arranges products or packages onto a pallet to improve efficiency and reduce human error. It's commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities for handling and organizing shipment items. By using a robot for palletizing, you increase production speed and accuracy compared to manual palletizing.

The automation market has produced different types of robots for palletizing applications - from industrial robots to collaborative robots like the UR20. Factors such as product weight and size, stack pattern, and speed dictate the type of robot needed. We provide both industrial and collaborative robot palletizing solutions to meet your needs.

Collaborative robots (cobots) offer increased safety, ease of programming, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and reduced training requirements. However, they are limited by weights and speeds even with the great solutions being offered by our partners at UR. We frequently use their products either alone or with UR+ solutions like Robotiq or Ewellix to create the perfect solution.

Meanwhile, industrial robots provide increased efficiency, improved accuracy, reduced labor costs, increased safety, and scalability. But they require a dedicated team member who knows how to work with them, and they also need to be guarded.

Regardless of the type of palletizer you need, we recommend working with us at Flex-Line as your integrator. We bring expertise in designing, building, and implementing palletizing systems and serve as a single source supplier. We integrate the palletizing system seamlessly with other systems and equipment in your facility for improved efficiency. Working with us saves you time and resources compared to doing it in-house, and by working with us we can often streamline things further by using our other solutions (like the boxEZ / robotic palletizer combo shown in the picture).
