Customer Case: Custom Dual-station Column-type Rotary Palletizing Robot for 10KG Seedling Tray

We have customized a dual-station column-type rotary palletizing robot for a client to achieve efficient dual-station palletizing on their seedling tray packaging line. The existing product packaging and line information are as follows:

Product name: seedling tray

Weight: 10 kg per tray

Dimensions: 850 × 550 × 150 mm

Pallet dimensions: 1300 × 1100 mm

Stacking pattern: 4 pieces per layer, 10 layers in total

Total palletizing height: 1650 mm

Based on the above basic information, we have recommended and customized the MR180 columntype rotary palletizing robot for the client, equipped with a custom gripper. The machine parameters are as follows:

Parameters
Power AC 380V±/5%  three-phase four-wire
Pneumatic Requirements Grippers/Fixtures: 0.6-0.8 MPa, ≥0.3 m³/min

Total air reservoir capacity >600 L

Dimensions Overall height 3m, rotation coverage radius 2.5m

footprint 5×3 m²

Cable Length 3m (from robot body to control cabinet)
Palletizing Height Limit ≤1600mm (grippers/fixtures)

≤1800mm (suction cups)

Power Robot body: 6.5 kW
Pallet Reference ≤1400×1600mm (including actual stack pattern)
Customizable item Cross Arm Length, Column Height, Case Length, Special Grippers
Follow-on Upgrade Vision Recognition, Pallet Conveyor Line,

Ton Bag Lifting Reciprocating Mechanism, Anti-collapse Linkage System

The machine has passed acceptance and is currently applying for CE certification.

We Spin supply three mainstream palletizing robots: cartesian coordinate robots, column-type palletizer, and articulated robotic arms. For detailed information on the three palletizing machine types, click here: Automated Palletizing Solutions: A Complete Guide to Cartesian, Column-Type, and Articulated Robots

SPIN’s Column Rotary Palletizing Robot: Dual-station, Continuous Operation, No Speed Loss.

Features of SPIN’s Column Rotating Palletizer

  1. Takes up less floor space than a robotic arm, simple to fix, and flexible in layout.

  2. Operates via a straight-arm rotation method, offering large coverage; safety fences and light curtains are required to improve safety.

  3. Dual-station design: no efficiency or speed requirements for personnel handling full stacks or placing empty pallets. Simply remove the full stack and replace with an empty pallet on the other side before the stack is completed.

  4. Continuous operation, alternating left/right or right/left with no actual loss of speed. After manually placing empty pallets and pre‑ordering a new stack position, the safety factor is extremely high.

  5. Slightly higher initial investment, but significant potential for future output increase (for 25 kg bagged products with air, max speed 450 cycles/hour; for 25 kg bagged products without air, max speed 500 cycles/hour).

Typical Applications:

  • Suitable for medium-to-low-speed palletizing production lines with a fan-shaped working area, compact space, and high cycle time requirements. Examples include palletizing bottled water, boxed beverages, food boxes, etc.
