Palletizing Robots Vital For Consumer Goods Industry

Friday July 10, 2009
The growth in the use of palletizing robots in the Indian consumer products market is expected to continue to increase as the Indian economy grows. The industries where palletizing robots are becoming more common include the $70 billion food and beverage industry and the $24 billion fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry. Palletizing robots supplied by companies like Kuka Robotics can radically improve productivity. The robots are vital in the loading and wrapping of large and heavy pallets found in the FMCG and food industries.

Kuka Robotics offers a number of palletizing robots starting with the KR40PA, made from carbon fiber composite. The KR40PA is able to stack europallets up to 1.6m in height. The largest of the Kuka palletizing robots is the KR 1000 1300 Titan PA, which has a payload capacity of up to 2860 pounds.
