Roskam robotic palletizers are available in a variety of layout configurations designed to minimize floor space usage, maximize production flow efficiencies and accommodate access for fork lifts and operators.

Single Lane Palletizing Systems

Provide high throughput while minimizing floor space.

Dedicated to handling one production line at a time, the palletizing cell is located near the end of the line in facilities where centralized palletizing is not feasible.

Unique hard-to-handle products often require customized palletizing solutions and usually run on dedicated production lines.

Multiple Lane Palletizing Systems

Utilizing automatic pallet dispensing with an empty/full pallet transfer cars, these systems can induct cases, lane sort, palletize, stretch wrapper and deliver finished loads ready for shipment within a single-source control system and supplier.

Allow centralized palletizing with production conveyed to the desired area from various production
areas within the plant.

This type solution keeps all the end-of-the-line handling in one location near shipping or warehouse storage.

Materials replenishment such as pallets and slip sheets are contained within one area vs. over the entire plant.

Added peripheral equipment compliments a complete palletizing system with case sortation, auto-pallet handling and automatic stretch wrapping.

EOAT – End-of-Arm Tooling

End-of-Arm tooling is customized to match the product handling characteristics that each unique system requires. Some examples of past Packaging EOAT tooling designed by Roskam are available in a variety of styles shown here:

Vacuum Cups Light to medium cases and products Optional zoning for individual case multi-placement Highly versatile for a large range of case sizes and patterns
Vacuum with Mechanical Clamp Heavier cases requiring extra support during lifting Higher cycle rate, provides side stability during moves Optional zoning for individual case multi-placement
Vacuum with Mechanical Articulation Top and Side vacuum cups ensure secure handling Can open flat to handle slip sheets Zoned to handle a variety of sizes
Multiple Zone Mechanical Clamp Display cases and trays Retracting “L” style fingers provides bottom support (opposite side) Zoned to handle a variety of sizes and pick counts
Mechanical Fork with Top Clamps Shrink-Wrapped Bundles Dual Zone, improved pick/place efficiencies Top clamps secure bundles during palletizing Slip Sheet cups on back side, requires 6-axis robot
