FAQ

Cobot palletizing FAQ

These questions focus on load, packaging, gripper, and line constraints before a palletizing concept is quoted.

FAQ 01

How do payload and box variation affect cobot palletizing?

Payload and box variation define whether a cobot can lift the product reliably at the required reach. The real load case includes box weight, gripper mass, center of gravity, acceleration, pallet height, and the heaviest packaging variant, not only the nominal payload on a datasheet.

FAQ 02

What limits a vacuum or mechanical palletizing gripper?

A palletizing gripper is limited by package surface, porosity, stiffness, seal area, deformation, dust, label placement, and available compressed air or electrical power. Vacuum works well for many cartons, but bags, open trays, uneven surfaces, or fragile products may require a different EOAT concept.

FAQ 03

When do line speed and floor space make palletizing difficult?

Line speed and floor space become limiting when the cobot cannot complete the pick, travel, place, and return cycle before the next product arrives, or when pallet access, conveyor position, and operator walkways leave too little working envelope. A lifting column or industrial palletizer may be needed for tall stacks or high throughput.
