Discover Lean Palletizing: PAL Ready, Robotiq’s production-ready palletizer, and PAL Series, modular palletizing through configurable standard models and modules. With a compact footprint, 32 kg (70 lb) payload, 13 cycles/min throughput, and up to 3 m (118 in) stacking height, you can deploy on day one with no engineering required.

 

Fast, flexible, and factory-friendly

Lean Palletizing includes two paths: PAL Ready and PAL Series. Manufacturers can choose the one that suits their factory environment best.

The PAL Ready palletizer from Robotiq is a pre-assembled, production-ready robotic palletizing cell designed for manufacturers who want fast automation without complexity

PAL Series delivers modular palletizing through configurable standard models and modules. Manufacturers can start small and scale to multiple cells or multi-site deployments

Both are built on Lean Robotics principles and deliver high throughput, compact design, and plug-and-play deployment—making it ideal for high-mix, low-volume operations or plants with limited floor space.

Key Specs of Robotiq Lean Palletizing at a Glance

  • Max Payload on PAL Series: 32 kg (70 lb)
  • Throughput: Up to 13 cycles per minute
  • Stacking Height on PAL Series: 3000 mm (118 in)
  • Footprint: Half a pallet

 

Plug-and-play automation

Unlike conventional palletizing systems that take weeks to configure, PAL Ready arrives pre-assembled. It can be installed and redeployed quickly, requiring no anchoring, forklifts, or engineering intervention.

This anchorless setup makes it ideal for:

  • Multi-line manufacturing with frequent changeovers
  • Washdown zones in food & beverage
  • Seasonal or contract packaging lines

PAL Ready includes integrated safeguarding for operator safety and Robotiq’s Material Handling Copilot Software, an intuitive, no-code interface that allows any operator to launch or adjust recipes in minutes.


Engineered for performance and uptime 

PAL Ready’s smart infeed and flexible vacuum gripper adapt automatically to different SKUs, boxes, and pallet patterns—no manual tool changes required.

Key features include:

  • Continuous operation logic: Keeps production running through brief stoppages
  • Automatic box alignment: Ensures precise placement every cycle
  • Unlimited SKU compatibility: Handle mixed-product runs easily

Together, these features maximize throughput and minimize downtime, ensuring consistent pallet quality across shifts.

PAL Ready stands out among cobot palletizers because it blends industrial performance with ease of use. It embodies modern end-of-line automation: scalable, adaptable, and human-friendly.
