30kg Payload Palletizing Industrial Robot Arm 1756mm Reach 0.05mm Repeatability

30kg Payload Palletizing Industrial Robot Arm 1756mm Reach 0.05mm Repeatability

Overview

This 30kg payload palletizing industrial robot arm is a six-axis collaborative robot configured for end-of-line stacking, depalletizing and pallet-to-conveyor transfer. Built on the CRX-30iA platform, the arm carries 30 kg at the wrist, reaches 1756 mm from its base and repeats to 0.05 mm, which is enough to place a filled 20 kg carton on the top layer of a 1.8 m pallet build without touching the case beside it.

The 30kg palletizing robot arm is force-sensing as standard, so an operator can drag the tool through a new stacking path and save it in minutes instead of teaching dozens of points from a pendant. Dual check safety functions monitor speed, position and tool orientation, which allows the cell to run with reduced guarding once a risk assessment has confirmed the layout. The result is a palletizing industrial robot arm that fits into an existing packing hall instead of forcing the hall to be rebuilt around it.

Every 30kg palletizing robot arm we ship is bench-tested for 72 hours of continuous palletizing cycles before crating. The test covers layer counting, the pallet-change handshake with the conveyor, gripper vacuum monitoring and recovery from a missed case, so commissioning on your floor starts from a known-good program rather than a blank page.

Payload margin decides the real capacity of a palletizing robot arm. A vacuum gripper, manifold and mounting frame commonly add 6 to 8 kg to the wrist load, and a 30 kg rated wrist therefore leaves 22 to 24 kg of product capacity at full speed. The same arm also runs in 25 kg and 40 kg modes, so buyers who later move to lighter cases gain working space, while buyers who move to heavier tools keep the 40 kg mode with a downward-facing flange.

Key Specifications

Advantages of This Palletizing Robot Arm

• A 30 kg wrist payload carries filled cartons plus a 6 to 8 kg vacuum gripper without derating the cycle.
• The 1756 mm working reach builds a 1200 x 1000 mm pallet from a single floor position, so no linear track is required.
• 0.05 mm repeatability at the flange keeps layer patterns square and stops cartons from drifting over an eight layer stack.
• IP67 protection on the body and wrist suits dusty packaging halls and light wash-down zones.
• Force sensing and hand guidance let a line supervisor teach a new palletizing pattern by hand, without robot programming experience.
• Palletizing mode moves the wrist linearly through singularity, so the arm behaves like a dedicated palletizer rather than a cobot limited to pick and place work.
• The R-30iB Plus controller adds PalletPRO offline simulation, so a new stacking pattern can be proven before the line stops.
• Eight years of maintenance-free operation and an NSF-H1 food grade grease option reduce lifetime service cost on food lines.

Applications

• End-of-line carton and case palletizing
• Tray and tote depalletizing at receiving docks
• Mixed-SKU layer building for e-commerce fulfilment
• Shrink-wrapped tray and bag-in-box stacking
• Combined machine tending and pallet building in one cell
• Food and beverage packaging lines with wash-down routines

Integration and Programming

• Tablet teach pendant and drag and drop programming cut pattern setup to roughly 30 minutes for a simple layer.
• iRVision, 3D vision sensors and FANUC force sensors plug into the same controller, which helps with mixed case sizes.
• Approved end of arm tooling and third party peripherals connect through the CRX ecosystem, so gripper changes stay quick.

FAQ

Q: What can a 30kg payload palletizing robot arm lift in practice?
A: The 30 kg rating is measured at the wrist and includes the gripper. A 6 to 8 kg vacuum or finger gripper leaves 22 to 24 kg for product, which covers most filled cartons, trays and bag-in-box packs. Share your case weight and gripper choice and we will confirm the cycle rate.

Q: How high can this robot arm stack with a 1756 mm reach?
A: On a standard floor mount the arm reaches roughly 1800 mm of stack height at a practical working radius, which matches common 1200 x 1000 mm pallet builds. For taller stacks we quote a riser or a wall mount, and the reach figure is verified in simulation before delivery.

Q: Does a 30kg palletizing robot arm need a safety fence?
A: Not always. The arm is force-sensing and runs dual check safety functions, so a cell can often operate with reduced guarding. The final decision belongs to the risk assessment for your layout, and we supply the safety configuration files used in that assessment.

Q: How long does it take to teach a new palletizing pattern?
A: A simple single-SKU layer is usually taught in about 30 minutes using the tablet teach pendant and hand guidance. Where the pattern is complex, we prepare it in PalletPRO offline and load it during commissioning.

Q: What protection and cleaning does this arm support?
A: IP67 seals cover the body and the wrist, so the arm handles dust and light water spray. A cleanroom ISO Class 2 option and NSF-H1 food grade grease are available for food and pharmaceutical packaging lines.

Q: What is included with the machine?
A: The arm, the R-30iB Plus controller, connecting cables, the teach pendant and a documentation set are supplied as one package. Grippers, vision and conveyors are quoted separately after we review your case dimensions and line speed.
