Sigma Palletizer

A robotic palletizing system designed to provide maximum pallet pattern versatility through independent box rotation and positioning technology.

The system utilizes a rotating handling table and comb-style robotic gripper to create complex pallet patterns while maintaining secure and stable product handling. Ideal for facilities requiring flexible palletizing automation for multiple box sizes, label orientation requirements, and mixed pallet configurations.

This robotic palletizing system is engineered to automate the stacking of cartons and packaged products using a rotating handling table capable of orienting and positioning boxes before pallet formation. The palletizer is specifically designed for applications requiring high pallet pattern flexibility, label orientation control, and the ability to create gaps between products within the pallet layer.

The system combines articulated robotic palletizing technology with a comb-and-pressure-plate gripper that supports boxes from below while stabilizing them from above. This handling method improves palletizing reliability for cartons with inconsistent sealing conditions while allowing the system to accommodate varying box dimensions without mechanical adjustments.

  • System type: Robotic palletizer
  • Production capacity: Up to approximately 15 boxes per minute per line or 4 cycles per minute
  • Robot type: Articulated robotic arm
  • Robot payload: Approximately 220 lbs
  • Infeed lines supported: Up to 3 palletizing lines
  • Entry box height range: Approximately 31 in. to 94 in.
  • Supported pallet sizes: Approximately 48 × 32 in. and 48 × 40 in.
  • Maximum package dimensions: Approximately 16 × 47 in.
  • Gripper type: Comb-and-pressure-plate gripper
  • Pattern capability: Adaptable to all pallet patterns
  • Table functions: 90° and 180° box rotation with gap creation capability
  • Controls: Touchscreen HMI with integrated palletizing software
  • Applications: Food, beverage, produce, corrugated, and industrial packaging operations

(Final specifications vary depending on product dimensions, pallet patterns, throughput requirements, and system configuration.)

  • Fully automatic robotic palletizing system
  • Rotating handling table for box orientation control
  • Flexible pallet pattern generation capability
  • Creation of product gaps within pallet layers
  • Comb-style robotic gripper with triple pressure plate system
  • Handles varying box sizes and packaging formats
  • Supports label orientation requirements
  • Up to 3 palletizing infeed lines
  • Touchscreen HMI with graphical pallet pattern generation
  • Integrated palletizing production monitoring software
  • No robot programming required for pallet pattern creation
  • Optional cardboard interlayer dispensing system available
  • Optional automatic centering guides and barcode camera integration
  • Remote Wi-Fi assistance capability available
  • Designed for flexible industrial palletizing applications

Products enter the palletizing cell through one or multiple infeed conveyor lines before reaching the rotating handling table. The integrated rotating handler positions and orients boxes according to the selected pallet pattern while also allowing intentional spacing gaps to be created between cartons during layer formation.

Once the pattern is formed, the articulated robotic arm retrieves the grouped products using a comb-style gripper equipped with a triple pressure plate system. The gripper lifts products from underneath while simultaneously securing them from above to maintain stable product handling throughout the palletizing cycle. This allows the system to palletize products reliably even when cartons have minor sealing defects or variable dimensions.

The palletizer incorporates integrated graphical robot software that allows operators to create and modify pallet patterns directly from the touchscreen HMI without requiring robot programming expertise. Operators can manually control all palletizing cell functions, monitor photocell activity, generate new pallet patterns, and track production statistics directly from the interface. Optional systems including cardboard interlayer dispensers, self-adjusting centering guides, barcode cameras, and remote Wi-Fi assistance further expand automation capabilities.
