The WP20 Robotic Palletizing System is an advanced automation solution designed to efficiently stack products onto pallets using industrial robotic arms. This system combines high-speed servo control, intelligent sensors, and gripper technology to precisely handle cartons, bags, or other packaged goods of varying weights and sizes.
Its working principle involves detecting product positions via vision-guided sensors, adjusting grip strength accordingly, and placing items onto pallets according to predefined stacking patterns. The WP20 supports multiple layout schemes, allowing operators to quickly switch between palletizing configurations without complex adjustments.
Unlike manual or semi-automatic methods, the WP20 offers consistency, safety, and high efficiency, reducing the risk of injuries from repetitive motion or heavy lifting. It is widely adopted in food & beverage, packaging, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, household goods, and logistics industries, delivering a highly flexible and customizable palletizing solution.
By combining automation, precision, and flexibility, the WP20 enables businesses to boost productivity, lower labor costs, and optimize end-of-line operations.
