Automating palletizing can make your operations safer and more profitable. Whether you’re stacking a full layer or individual boxes, bags, pails or drums, FANUC’s palletizing cobots and robots offer a fast, steady, and reliable automated solution. Our extensive offerings provide many options in terms of size, payload, speeds for cycle time and precision and most importantly, care in handling your products.
To select the correct automated palletizing and depalletizing solution, consider payload, reach, duty, cycle time and floor space. Don’t forget the weight of your end of arm tool, dress out and product when selecting the desired payload range.

Versatile end of arm tooling can handle multiple types of containers at a time, regardless of their shape and/or material including cases, bags, pails, bottles, batteries, cubes of scrap metal, and plastic containers.
Cobot and robot palletizing solutions can easily accommodate different pallet patterns and product types. They have the ability to handle one or more units at a time and can form multiple layers on a pallet after picking the products off of a conveyor.
Palletizing cobots and robots can be programmed to handle multiple infeeds of different SKUs on the same line. Vision systems can be used to send information to the robot so it can pick and place different SKUs on different pallets.
Palletizing industrial robots can handle up to a 700kg payload. Depending on the type of robot and the application, an industrial palletizing robot can handle up to 30 cases per minute.

FANUC offers several software packages to help you automate your palletizing solution quickly and easily.
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. A Tablet TP is required to use PalletTool 3 with FANUC’s non-collaborative robots.
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.
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.
