Process Overview

This deployment uses a YASKAWA GP180 to palletize boxes of hanger products weighing over 20 kg onto pallets. By replacing manual handling in heavy-payload work, it helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders and enables faster, more consistent palletizing performance.

Note: Cost may vary depending on the installation environment, robot brand, and payload requirements.

Components

Robot	YASKAWA GP180 Horizontal reach: 2,702 mm Repeatability: ±0.2 mm
Peripherals	Communication / control: Choose one (PC control or PLC control) Robot mounting base: within 1,200 mm (height) Box gripper: designed for 10–20 kg class (suction + gripper type) Belt conveyor: 1,300 × 220 × 640 mm (for infeed and outfeed) Touch screen: 12" Safety fence: 12 m (includes safety S/W)

Workflow

STEP 1.	Boxes are conveyed in and aligned
STEP 2.	The robot picks the box
STEP 3.	The robot palletizes (stacks) the box onto the pallet
STEP 4.	(Optional) Box taping and wrapping process.

Key Features

Stable, reliable handling and palletizing/stacking operations.
Stacking orientation can be customized to maximize pack density and loading efficiency.
Tight, close-packed stacking between workpieces enables uniform, stable loads throughout the palletizing process.
Boosts productivity while improving the shop-floor work environment at the same time.
Rapidly palletizes high-weight cartons (20 kg+) to maximize throughput.
Minimizes idle time and helps prevent operator musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Implementation Results

ROI Period	2 years
Key Metrics	Improves productivity by enabling uninterrupted operation with minimal idle time. Increases palletizing efficiency through uniform and stable stacking.
Client Feedback	The customer noted that heavy boxes needed to be stacked high on pallets, but it was difficult and time-consuming due to physical constraints on operators. By introducing a palletizing robot, they were able to stack loads faster and higher with consistent quality, significantly improving productivity.
