    I. Core Palletizing Methods: Technical Characteristics and Advantages

    Palletizing, as the key link connecting production and warehousing, has developed multiple mature implementation methods based on material characteristics, production capacity, and space conditions. Each method has unique technical advantages, enabling precise matching with diverse industrial needs:

    1. Robotic Palletizing (Multi-Axis Arm Type)

    The most widely used intelligent palletizing method, relying on 4-6 axis robotic arms equipped with end effectors (suction cups, clamping jaws, or combination fixtures). It supports flexible switching between cartons, bags, barrels, and other materials, with a palletizing speed of 500-1200 cycles per hour. The robotic arm’s multi-angle movement allows for complex stacking patterns (such as cross-stacking, staggered stacking) to enhance stack stability. Its compact structure occupies only 2-3 square meters, making it suitable for small and medium-sized workshops with limited space. Additionally, it integrates visual positioning technology to automatically correct material placement deviations, ensuring stacking precision even for irregularly shaped items.

    2. Gantry Palletizing (Beam Type)

    Characterized by a gantry frame structure, this method uses a horizontal beam and vertical guide rail to drive the gripper for linear movement. It excels in heavy-load and high-speed scenarios, supporting palletizing of materials weighing 50-500kg and achieving a speed of 800-1500 cycles per hour. The gantry structure ensures stable operation with low vibration, making it ideal for large-volume continuous production lines. It can be customized with multi-station design, enabling simultaneous palletizing of multiple production lines, and is equipped with anti-drop devices to prevent material damage during high-altitude handling.

    3. Collaborative Palletizing (Human-Machine Coexistence Type)

    A safety-focused palletizing method that eliminates the need for isolation fences. It uses force sensors and proximity detection technology to adjust operating speed and trajectory in real-time when humans approach, ensuring safe collaboration. With a speed of 300-600 cycles per hour, it is suitable for small-batch, multi-variety production scenarios (such as customized packaging workshops). Its lightweight design and easy programming allow for quick deployment and parameter adjustment, reducing downtime when switching between different products.

    4. High-Speed Continuous Palletizing (Conveyor Integration Type)

    Integrated with conveyor lines, this method realizes seamless connection between material conveying and palletizing. It adopts a continuous motion mechanism to complete grabbing, moving, and stacking in one cycle, with a maximum speed of 1500-2000 cycles per hour. It is designed for large-scale production industries with high throughput requirements, supporting 24/7 uninterrupted operation. The system can be equipped with automatic pallet supply and stack output modules, achieving full-process automation without manual intervention.

    II. Application Scenarios: Matching Palletizing Methods to Industry Needs

    Different palletizing methods target distinct industrial pain points, forming targeted solutions for various sectors:

    Robotic Palletizing: Dominates in industries with diverse material types, such as e-commerce logistics (mixed SKU cartons), daily chemicals (bottles, boxes, bags), and consumer electronics (product packaging boxes of different sizes). It solves the problem of frequent product switching and irregular material shapes.

    Gantry Palletizing: Widely used in heavy-industry and bulk-packaging fields, including chemical building materials (cement bags, fertilizer barrels), metallurgy (steel coils, metal sheets), and beverage production (large-volume bottled water cartons). It meets the demand for heavy-load, high-stability palletizing.

    Collaborative Palletizing: Ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises, workshops with limited space, and industries requiring human-machine collaboration, such as pharmaceutical small-batch production (customized drug boxes), food processing (handmade snack packaging), and hardware manufacturing (small parts boxes). It addresses the challenges of low output, high labor intensity, and safety risks.

    High-Speed Continuous Palletizing: Core equipment in large-scale production industries, such as beer and beverage (canned drink cartons), dairy products (milk boxes), and fast-moving consumer goods (snack packaging lines). It copes with peak production pressures and improves overall line efficiency.
