Palletising

Robotic Palletising Module

An ABB robot with a Mexx vacuum head picks bottles from the conveyor and builds stable, layered pallets on one or two stations, ready for strapping, wrapping and dispatch.

Why it works

Stable pallets, every time

Stable pallets

Consistent layer placement for safe transport and storage.

No tool changes

The Mexx vacuum head handles a wide range of bottle sizes.

One or two pallets

One robot can build on two pallet stations.

Fits your line

Works with debagging, conveyors, inspection and your pallet logistics.

Mexx robotic bottle palletising module

What it does

From a stream of bottles to a neat pallet

Bottles arrive by conveyor and are picked in rows or groups, then placed onto the pallet in a set pattern. When a layer is complete the robot can place a layer pad, and it repeats until the pallet reaches its target height.

  • Robotic pick-and-place palletising from conveyor
  • Mexx vacuum head for a wide bottle range
  • Layer patterns managed on the HMI
  • Layer pad placement (optional)
  • Conveyor and accumulation integration
  • Vision checking (optional)

How it works

Infeed, pick, build, pallet out

01

Infeed

Bottles arrive from upstream by conveyor, with controlled flow to the pick point.

02

Pick

The ABB robot picks a set group of bottles with the Mexx vacuum head.

03

Build layers

Bottles go down in a set pattern, with a layer pad between layers if needed.

04

Pallet out

Full pallets leave for forklift, conveyor or AGV pickup, with safety devices keeping the robot working safely.

Options and layouts

Configured for your site

Options

  • Dual pallet build stations
  • Automatic pallet outfeed
  • Layer pad handling and magazine
  • Strapping and wrapping interfaces
  • AGV or forklift pallet handoff

Common layouts

  • Single pallet station: compact and simple
  • Dual pallet stations: keeps running while pallets change
  • De-bagging plus palletising: bags to pallet
  • Pallet outfeed to strapping or wrapping
