Robotic Palletizers

Columbia/Okura has been an industry leader in industrial palletizing robots for over 25 years. Like all industrial robots, our robots are programmable, automating tasks that are often repetitive or harmful to workers. They have the ability to lift and move heavy loads quickly while keeping products safe and stacking them to be shipped or even neatly to be sold in stores.

What Is A Robotic Palletizer?

Robotic palletizers build a pallet load by picking the product from a conveyor and placing it directly onto the pallet. Building the predefined pattern right on the pallet, again layer by layer, until the full pallet load is created and removed from the machine.
