How an Automated Palletizing Robot Can Improve Efficiency and Safety

No matter what you’re packing and shipping, investing in an automated palletizing robot can save costs and reduce labor. For fifty years, Hamrick Packaging Systems has been a leader in advancing innovations like robotic palletizing.

We can deliver everything from compact units that require limited floor space to advanced systems suited for multi-line operations, with each solution engineered for industry-leading uptime and efficiency standards.

Our palletizing solutions outperform the competition

We take pride in our excellent reputation for precision engineering and fabrication, as well as our expertise in automation and robotics. Our products deliver real-world durability and reliability, and we actively engage with customers to forge long-term customer partnerships.

Our palletizers outperform the competition, safeguarding workers and providing the flexibility businesses need today. We designed them to handle every application, from small operators to high-volume producers, delivering fast cycle times and an extensive range of products, case sizes, and stacking patterns.

The advantages of automated palletizing

We proudly serve as an authorized FANUC System Integrator capable of delivering an optimized automated palletizing robot system across three segments.

Compact palletizers

We designed these palletizers with a smaller footprint than other solutions. They employ an industrial robot with customizable interlocked safety guards and light curtains. Compact palletizers can achieve up to 12 cycles per minute (cycles/min) and handle a maximum payload of about 407 lbs. (185 kg).

Complex palletizers

For more challenging applications, we recommend complex palletizing solutions that include a FANUC M-410 robot. Other elements can consist of a pallet dispenser, pallet conveyor, as well as a custom brake meter or row-forming conveyors to handle two rows of products per pick.

Collaborative palletizers

Designed for lighter-weight, slower-speed applications with minimal space requirements, collaborative palletizers typically feature a FANUC CRX-25iA robot, two pallet build stations, and three area scanners for perimeter safety that slow or stop the robot when an operator is nearby. This option is ideal for low-speed lines with little footprint space.

Becoming a solution partner

Rather than playing a traditional passive supplier role, we aspire to become your solution partner, helping customers evaluate their palletizer requirements across multiple dimensions, including line layout and design, throughput goals, stock-keeping unit (SKU) diversity, and labor challenges. We provide practical training and installation support to ensure a rapid ramp-up of your new palletizing solution.
