A Production Ready Palletiser from the Robotiq PAL Series
Australia’s manufacturing sector faces unique challenges. From labour shortages across regional hubs to the need for flexible automation that can adapt to fluctuating production demands. Enter the PE20 Palletizing Solution, a purpose-built robotic system engineered to deliver rapid deployment, minimal risk, and a swift return on investment for businesses ready to modernise their material handling operations.
With a payload capacity of 18 kg and the ability to stack pallets up to 2.15 metres, the PE20 isn’t just another robot system – it’s a complete, ready-to-deploy ecosystem designed specifically for palletizing applications.
Built for Simplicity, Engineered for Performance
One of the biggest barriers to robotics adoption in Australian industry has always been complexity. The PE20 changes that narrative entirely. Whether you’re an experienced automation engineer or a business owner new to robotics, this solution puts you in full control from day one.
Three Steps to Production
The secret lies in the Material Handling Copilot. This visual, intuitive software interface guides operators through setup in just three straightforward steps:
- Enter your box dimensions and positioning
- Input your pallet specifications
- Build your pallet pattern and you’re live
That’s it. No extensive programming knowledge required. The entire process happens directly on the robot’s control device, eliminating the need for external workstations or specialist integrators for standard applications.
✅ Single-SKU Convenience
Forget hunting down compatible components. The PE20 arrives as a complete package—one SKU, everything you need to begin palletizing immediately.
✅ Mobility Meets Stability
Need to reconfigure your production line? The fixed pedestal can be relocated using a forklift or pallet jack before being anchored for production runs. This flexibility is invaluable for Australian facilities managing seasonal production cycles or multi-product lines.
✅ Advanced Sensor Technology
Low-profile optical pallet sensors ensure seamless operation even with challenging pallet configurations, including overhang scenarios common in mixed-SKU environments.
✅ Optimised Throughput
Delivering up to 13 picks per minute, the PE20 balances speed with precision—ideal for mid-volume operations where efficiency directly impacts profitability.
