Cartesian palletiser
The YM Packaging cartesian palletiser is our most compact and cost-effective solution for automatic case palletising. A gantry with 3 linear axes (X, Y and Z) picks each carton or regular-shaped pack from the conveyor and places it on the pallet layer by layer, with simple patterns and up to 10 cycles per minute. We study your plant and adapt the palletiser to your space and your output.

Why choose it
Compact and cost-effective
Our most compact and cost-effective palletising system: a small footprint and the most direct way to stop palletising by hand.
3-axis cartesian motion
A gantry with linear X, Y and Z movements: simple, repeatable paths that are easy to maintain.
Ideal for simple patterns
Designed for cartons and regular-shaped packs, with patterns that repeat layer after layer.
Up to 10 cycles per minute
A palletising rate that matches most end-of-line case packing operations.
Safer, more ergonomic work
Your operators stop lifting cases: the palletiser takes over the heavy, repetitive end-of-line work.
Bespoke guarding
Safety barriers and a swing door to bring pallets in and out, adapted to your plant.
How it works
Case infeed
Sealed cases arrive on the infeed conveyor from the case sealer or the checkweigher.
Pick
The gantry head moves down the Z axis and picks the case with its gripper.
Transfer
The X and Y axes carry the case to its position in the pattern.
Place and layers
The case is placed in the layer and the cycle repeats until the pallet is complete.
Pallet out
The full pallet is taken out through the guarding door and an empty pallet goes in.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cartesian palletiser?
It is a palletiser that moves the product with a gantry of three linear axes (X, Y and Z). It picks each case from the conveyor and places it on the pallet following the programmed pattern, layer by layer.
How fast is it?
Up to 10 cycles per minute, with cartons or regular-shaped packs and simple patterns.
When should I choose a cartesian palletiser rather than a robot?
The cartesian palletiser is the most compact and cost-effective option for regular cases and simple patterns. The anthropomorphic robot suits varied products, complex patterns, depalletising or mixing products, and the collaborative robot works next to operators without a safety cage.
Can it be adapted to my floor space?
Yes. We study your process and your space and configure the palletiser, conveyors and guarding to optimise output and footprint.
What safety features does it have?
The palletising area is protected by safety barriers and a swing door to bring pallets in and out, depending on your plant layout.
Can it be integrated with my packaging line?
Yes. We design the complete end of line: case erecting, case packing, weight control, case sealing and palletising, integrated with the equipment you already have.
Is this the right machine for your product?
Tell us what you pack, in which format and at what speed. An engineer will reply with a proposal.
