We customized a dual-palletizing-station EFORT 4-axis articulated palletizer for a client. This client needs it for end-of-line palletizing at their tile adhesive production packaging line. The existing product packaging and production line information is as follows:
Product name: Tile adhesive (powder)
Packaging type: Valve-type PP bag
Specification: 20 kg per bag
Bag dimensions: 450×250×150 mm
Pallet dimensions: 1100×1000 mm
Stacking pattern: 10 bags per layer, 10 layers in total
Total palletizing height: 1600 mm
Based on the above basic information and the requirement to match the production line feeding speed, we recommended and customized the ER180-4-3200 robotic palletizing robot for the client. The robot parameters are as follows:
| Model | ER180 – 4 – 3200 | Drive system | AC Servo motor drive | |||
| Robot type | Articulated | Mounting type | Ground | |||
| Number of controlled axes | 4 | Allowable wrist torque | J 4 | 190 N ·m | ||
| Wrist payload | 180 kg | Allowable wrist moment of inertia | J 4 | 56.6 kg ·㎡ | ||
| Repeatability | ±0.1 mm | Maximum speed per axis | J 1 | 104°/ sec | ||
| Robot mass | 1350 kg | J 2 | 104°/ sec | |||
| Maximum working radius | 3160 mm | J 3 | 104°/ sec | |||
| Robot protection rating | IP54 | J 4 | 210°/ sec | |||
| Controller protection rating | IP54 | Axis motion range | J 1 | ±180° | ||
| Installation conditions | Ambient temperature | 0~45 ℃ | J 2 | +40°/ – 86° | ||
| Ambient humidity | RH≤80% | J 3 | +60°/ – 52° | |||
| Vibration acceleration | 4.9 m/ s2 | J 4 | ±360° | |||
The robot has been delivered to the client and is now in use.
We Spin supply three mainstream palletizing robots: cartesian coordinate robots, column-type palletizer, and articulated robotic arms.

Articulated Palletizer: The Flexible and Intelligent Solution
Professional Design:
Mimicking the human arm, it is a multi‑joint, multi‑degree‑of‑freedom serial robot. Mainstream configurations include 4 axes (base rotation, upper arm swing, forearm swing, wrist rotation) and 6 axes (adding wrist pitch and yaw to the 4‑axis design). Some models specifically optimized for palletizing adopt a 5‑axis high‑rigidity design to simplify the structure and improve stability.
Motion Trajectory:
The working envelope is spherical, and the trajectory is extremely flexible and diverse. Through complex kinematics and trajectory planning algorithms (e.g., inverse kinematics solution), it can achieve arbitrary curved paths in space and adjust the end‑effector’s orientation. Modern systems also integrate AI vision for dynamic path planning.
Applicable and Common Scenarios:
Offering the highest flexibility, it is the first choice for handling multiple varieties and variable batch sizes of materials. It is especially suitable for industries such as e‑commerce logistics, home appliances, 3C electronics, and automotive parts. It can easily accomplish complex tasks like “mixed‑SKU depalletizing/palletizing” and, when equipped with collaborative systems, enables human‑robot collaboration.
