OEM Fully Automatic High Position Palletizer

Overview

A fully automatic high position palletizer stacks products onto pallets at elevated elevations, typically ranging from 2.5 m to 4.0 m above floor level, without manual intervention. The system integrates infeed conveyors, a lifting mast, a robotic or gantry head, and a pallet dispenser to achieve continuous operation in high‑throughput lines.

Working Principle

Products arrive on an infeed conveyor at a controlled rate. Sensors detect each item's position and trigger the lift mechanism to raise the load‑handling device to the programmed pallet tier.

The head then places the item according to a preset pattern, while the pallet magazine supplies empty pallets as the current layer completes.

Cycle times are governed by mast speed, head acceleration, and pattern complexity; typical rates range from 8 to 15 cycles per minute depending on product weight and pallet size.

Technical Specifications

Customization Options

Because the palletizer is supplied as an OEM module, key dimensions and performance parameters can be adapted to the host line.

• Mast stroke length (2.0 m–5.0 m)
• Head type (vacuum gripper, mechanical fork, or hybrid)
• Pallet magazine capacity (5–20 pallets)
• Infeed conveyor speed and width
• Safety guarding configurations (light curtains, safety scanners)

All customizations are quoted after reviewing layout drawings, product data sheets, and required throughput.

Applications

High‑position palletizers are advantageous when floor space is limited or when downstream processes require pallets at a specific elevation for ergonomic handling or automated wrapping.

• Beverage bottling lines where pallets must be positioned above conveyor belts for stretch‑wrapping machines.
• Pharmaceutical bulk powder handling, where pallets need to be raised to meet clean‑room transfer heights.
• Food processing plants that stack trays or cases onto pallets prior to cold‑storage loading docks.
• Automotive parts distribution, where heavy components are lifted to match automated guided vehicle (AGV) loading heights.

In each case, the elevator function eliminates the need for secondary lift tables or manual pallet jacks, reducing labor and improving cycle predictability.

Quality Assurance

Manufacturing follows ISO‑9001‑aligned procedures. Critical welds on the mast are inspected using ultrasonic testing, and load‑bearing components undergo finite‑element analysis to verify safety factors above 3.0 under dynamic loading.

Prior to shipment, each unit runs a factory acceptance test (FAT) that includes:

1. Verification of lift speed and acceleration against setpoints.
2. Repeatability of placement accuracy (±5 mm).
3. Emergency stop response time (<150 ms).
4. Load‑cycle endurance (10 000 cycles) without degradation.

Test certificates are available upon request.
