Palletising

Anthropomorphic palletising robot

An anthropomorphic palletising robot is an articulated arm that turns, flips, rotates and carries almost any goods to place them in cases or on pallets. At YM Packaging we design the complete palletising cell: the robot, a bespoke gripper for your product, the conveyors, the safety fencing and the pattern logic. As well as palletising, the same robot can depalletise, mix products and feed a weighing line.

Models: Anthropomorphic robot

Gripper: Bespoke
Palletise, depalletise, mix: 3 in 1
Patterns: Complex
Cell: Turnkey

Anthropomorphic palletising robot in a fenced YM Packaging cell handling cases of fresh produce — Anthropomorphic robot

In action

Why choose it

Handles almost any product

Its articulated arm turns, flips and rotates the product: cases, trays, multipacks and packs of different shapes.

Bespoke gripper

We design the gripper for your product, to pick it safely and place it exactly where the pattern requires.

Palletises, depalletises and mixes

The same robot can unload incoming pallets, mix several products and build the outgoing pallet.

Complex patterns

It turns each case to build interlocked or multi-orientation patterns that a cartesian system cannot handle.

Integrated with weighing and control

We connect it with conveyors, weighing and checkweighing to automate the whole end of line.

Safe cell

Perimeter fencing and safety barriers at the pallet area: operators only go in to take the finished pallet out.

How it works

Product infeed
Cases or trays arrive on the conveyor, or the robot picks them from an incoming pallet (depalletising).
Pick with a bespoke gripper
The gripper designed for your product picks it safely, without damaging it.
Turning and orientation
The articulated arm turns and orients each unit according to the programmed pattern.
Pallet build
The robot places layer by layer, even mixing products on the same pallet.
Pallet out
The full pallet leaves the cell and an empty one goes in, with the fencing protecting the area.

Labelling and printing at the end of the line

Complete this machine with automatic label application and printing systems to identify the product, ensure traceability and optimise logistics at the end of the line. They integrate into new or existing lines.

Label applicators

A compact, versatile format that can be installed at different points of the process, with high accuracy and connection to the plant control system and production management platforms.

Thermal transfer and inkjet

Variable information printed directly on the pack or label: thermal transfer (TTO, ribbon) for flexible film with high resolution, and non-contact inkjet for cardboard cases, pre-made bags and rigid packs such as tubs.

Print & apply

Prints the variable information on the label in real time and applies it to the pack automatically in a single process, with maximum accuracy and traceability.

Which packs

Cardboard cases (RSC, wrap-around or display)
Trays
Flow packs
Doypacks
Bags
Jars and tubs
Bottles
Pallets

Why integrate it

Modular, configurable design
High label placement accuracy
Easy integration into existing lines
Intuitive HMI programming
Adaptation to different production speeds

We choose the marking technology for the pack, the printing surface and the production requirements, and combine it with quality control, case packing, palletising and the rest of a turnkey packaging line.

Frequently asked questions

What is an anthropomorphic palletising robot?

It is an articulated-arm industrial robot that mimics the movement of a human arm. It picks the product with a gripper, turns and flips it and places it on the pallet following a programmed pattern.

How is it different from a cartesian palletiser?

The cartesian palletiser moves the product along three linear axes and is the most compact and cost-effective option for simple patterns. The anthropomorphic robot turns and orients each unit, handles more varied products and solves complex patterns, depalletising or product mixing.

Can it depalletise and mix products?

Yes. We have designed end-of-line systems where the same robot depalletises the incoming product, mixes products, feeds the weighing station and palletises the result.

What gripper does it use?

A gripper designed for your product: we define it during the project study according to the pack type, its weight and the pattern.

Which robot brand do you use?

We integrate industrial robots from leading brands. In projects such as our end of line with depalletising, mixing and weighing we have worked with Yaskawa robots.

Do you supply the whole cell?

Yes: robot, gripper, conveyors, safety fencing, pattern programming, commissioning and technical service.
