At the start of the new year, ROKAE Robotics has introduced its 45 kg intelligent collaborative palletizing workstation. The design targets industries including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, daily chemicals, and new energy, providing a high-efficiency and flexible palletizing solution for modern production lines.
Core Features
High payload and performance
Carrying the ROKAE CR-series collaborative robot, the workstation supports a maximum payload of 45 kg, a reach of up to 2,246 mm, and a palletizing height of 2,600 mm. RV reducers on the first and second axes enhance rigidity and load capacity, enabling stable operation under high payload and high-throughput conditions.
Certified safety for close human–robot collaboration
The system integrates an independent SIL3 safety controller with dual-channel redundancy and has passed 21 TüV safety function tests, along with full-machine TüV functional safety certification. High-precision joint torque sensors improve collision detection sensitivity by up to ten times, supporting safe close-range human–robot collaboration. External safety devices such as safety scanners and light curtains are also supported.
High efficiency and smooth motion
With advanced motion control algorithms, the workstation achieves 9–20 cartons per minute, improving efficiency by more than 20%. Singularity-free trajectory planning and ooverall vibration suppression ensure fast, smooth palletizing and stable stack quality.
Force-sensing joints
Integrated joint torque sensing enables sensitive force control for drag teaching and collision stop functions, improving efficiency and yield.
Ease of use and fast deployment
The palletizing process package features a graphical interface with no coding required, allowing automatic pallet pattern and path generation. Modular plug-and-play design enables installation in approximately 30 minutes, with forklift slots for easy relocation between lines.
Flexible production for multiple formats
Supporting multiple pick-and-place modes and over 500 palletizing patterns, the system covers a wide range of product specifications and allows fast changeovers at one click. Full fieldbus communication and expandable I/O interfaces ensure compatibility with diverse production scenarios.
How to use the palletizing process package?
Designed to lower the barrier to use and shorten changeover time, the palletizing process package features a graphical interface, eliminating the need for programming knowledge.
- Drag teach once and complete 4-step guidance, the workstation is ready for operation.
- An integrated AI-based pallet pattern algorithm automatically generates pallet layouts based on user-input dimensions of pallets and cartons. Pallet configuration can be completed in approximately two minutes, improving commissioning efficiency.
- The production interface supports one-click changeovers, allowing line switching in around five minutes.
- Multiple operating modes—including multi-pick multi-place, multi-pick sequential place, and single-pick single-place—are supported, increasing palletizing efficiency by up to 80%.
- The system also allows configuration of carton label orientation and infeed direction, meeting more complex palletizing requirements.
Why trust us?
ROKAE’s intelligent palletizing solutions now cover payloads from 17 to 45 kg and have been deployed at scale across food and beverage, household chemicals, pharmaceuticals, logistics, printing, and other industries worldwide.
Applications include damage-free handling of new energy battery housings, high-speed palletizing for consumer goods production, vision-guided palletizing in home appliance manufacturing, and unmanned palletizing solutions for pharmaceutical environments.
