1 Usage Scenarios
Robot palletizing is mainly used in food, beverage, logistics and other industries. It is a typical application of industrial robots. With different grippers, it can achieve boxing and palletizing of finished products of various shapes in different industries. The significance of palletizing is to stack piles of items into stacks through certain patterns, making items easy to transport, unload and store.
Traditional palletizing is completed manually. This palletizing method cannot adapt to today's high-tech development in many cases. When production line speed is too high or product weight is too heavy, manpower can hardly meet requirements. Moreover, using manpower for palletizing requires many people and high labor costs, yet cannot improve production efficiency.
To improve handling and unloading efficiency, improve palletizing quality, save labor costs, and ensure employee safety, palletizing robot applications will become increasingly widespread.
2 Simple Palletizing / Complete Palletizing
Enter Craft/Palletizing Process/Palletizing Parameters. Supports 99 craft number parameters. Can select simple palletizing and complete palletizing.
Clear Parameters: Clears the currently selected craft number's complete palletizing/simple palletizing parameters.
Copy Parameters: Currently selected craft number's complete palletizing/simple palletizing parameters can be copied to the desired craft number.
Note: Simple palletizing craft number should not use the same craft number as complete palletizing. If simple palletizing craft number is 1 and parameters are set, then changing craft number 1 to complete palletizing requires re-setting complete palletizing parameters. Using different craft numbers saves time and avoids program runtime errors.
2.1 Complete Palletizing
2.1.1 Parameter Setting
Complete palletizing can proceed with gripper settings, pallet settings, workpiece parameters, overlap mode, position settings, and plane mode.
2.1.2 Gripper Settings
Gripper settings configure the tool hands used in the palletizing process.
If two suction cups pick materials separately (one suctions first then switches to the other), set as two grippers.
If two suction cups pick materials simultaneously, set as one gripper.
If two suction cups place materials separately (one places first then switches to the other), set as two grippers.
If two suction cups place materials simultaneously, set as one gripper.
Please calibrate the gripper (tool hand) in [Settings - Tool Hand Calibration] interface first, then set the gripper in this interface.
Gripper Count: Number of grippers. Set based on actual situation. Maximum 4 grippers.
Gripper X Tool Number: Set the tool hand number corresponding to the gripper. Tool hand parameters need to be calibrated in advance.
Parameter Values: After completing tool coordinate calibration in tool hand calibration interface, each axis's parameter values after selecting the calibrated tool hand number in this interface.
2.1.3 Pallet Settings
Pallet settings configure the pallet user coordinate engineering. In this interface, calibrate the pallet origin, pallet Y direction, and pallet X direction.
User Coordinate System: Pallet coordinates. Select the user coordinate to calibrate based on need. Calibrate pallet coordinate (user coordinate). If coordinate system position is changed later in user coordinate calibration, the coordinate system here will also change.
Note: Please use the tool hand selected for gripper 1 to calibrate. When not calibrating user coordinate (pallet coordinate), when user coordinate parameter value is 0, it is the same as Cartesian coordinate system.
When marking X and Y directions, must be based on robot's original X, Y directions. Otherwise marked pallet Z direction will be downward, and second layer will be stacked downward!
2.1.4 Workpiece Parameters
Workpiece parameters can set the length, width, height and gap of the workpiece to be palletized in user coordinates.
Length, width, and height are the lengths in YXZ directions in pallet coordinate system (user coordinate system).
Workpiece Size: Parameter description.
Length: Workpiece length in Y direction in pallet coordinate system.
Width: Workpiece length in X direction in pallet coordinate system.
Height: Workpiece length in Z direction in pallet coordinate system.
Pallet Y Direction Gap: Gap distance between two workpieces in Y axis direction in pallet coordinate system.
Pallet X Direction Gap: Gap distance between two workpieces in X axis direction in pallet coordinate system.
2.1.5 Overlap Mode
Overlap mode can set palletizing layer count and pattern template selection and other related parameters.
Layer Count: Total palletizing layers. Fill based on actual need.
Repeat Relationship: Repeat relationship between each layer.
Select Same: Each layer uses the same pattern template.
Select Alternate: Pattern templates alternate every two layers.
Select Custom: Users select each layer's pattern template individually.
Same: Every layer's pattern template is the same. Palletizing uses the same pattern template. When selecting this option, only the first layer in the right list is modifiable. After modification, all layers below change accordingly. Below shows layer count selected as 6, repeat relationship selected as Same.
Alternate: Two pattern templates alternate. After selecting this option, only the first two layers in the right list are modifiable. After modification, all layers below repeat the two layers' pattern numbers. Below shows layer count selected as 6, repeat relationship selected as Alternate.
Custom: Each layer's pattern template can be set individually. Below shows layer count selected as 6, repeat relationship selected as Custom.
Repeat: When repeat relationship uses Custom and layer count is large, if all layers repeat the first N layers' pattern templates, after filling the first N layers' pattern templates, select the N+1th layer, click this button, layers below automatically repeat.
Fixed Auxiliary Point Height: If palletizing layer count is two, turning on this button makes the first layer workpiece and second layer workpiece share the same auxiliary point position. Auxiliary point will not shift in Z+ direction when running the second layer workpiece.
For example: In a box enclosed on all sides, if there are many workpieces to palletize, the set workpiece auxiliary point will get higher as palletizing count increases, possibly exceeding robot joint parameter limits. To prevent this error, turn on fixed auxiliary point height button, set the fixed auxiliary point height position. This way, as palletizing count increases, auxiliary point height remains the same, avoiding joint parameter limit exceedance and ensuring operator safety.
Placement Point Height Compensation: After filling, all workpieces' placement point height will shift. Shift height can be filled based on actual need. Positive value shifts in Z+ direction, negative value shifts in Z- direction (this parameter is invalid during depalletizing).
Fixed Placement Point Height: After selecting, placement point height is the same for every layer during palletizing. Height is the marked workpiece point height (only effective during palletizing). If palletizing layers are more than one (two layers as example), turning on this button makes every layer's every workpiece point at the same height, not shifting in Z+ direction during second layer palletizing.
Vertical Direction Arrangement: After selecting vertical direction arrangement, will complete one vertical column first before palletizing the next vertical column.
Layer Auto-Align: After selecting layer auto-align, each layer template is automatically aligned. X axis and Y axis offsets are automatically calculated.
Attitude Auto-Rotate: After selecting, when palletizing and tool hand cannot reach auxiliary point and placement point with a fixed attitude but can reach after rotating the tool hand attitude, it will auto-rotate. This function only works when both auxiliary point and workpiece point use joint interpolation.
Fixed Entry Point Position: After picking, every workpiece will be at the same entry point. Z axis is optimized during entry point process.
Position Setting: Can set palletizing workpiece point, auxiliary point, entry point. Please perform position marking with the tool hand selected in gripper settings.
Mark Layer Number: The layer where current calibration workpiece point is located. Saves the process of clearing the stack. Can directly select mark current layer.
Workpiece Point: The first pickup point or last placement point of the marked layer.
Note: Workpiece order in palletizing parameter setting interface follows palletizing order. Depalletizing order is reversed.
Auxiliary Point: Used with workpiece point to make workpiece placement safer. Generally set above the workpiece point. If workpiece needs rotation angle, it will rotate before reaching auxiliary point. This point automatically shifts with workpiece placement position.
Entry Point: Pallet entry point. To prevent robot collision with other objects, set robot's safe position as entry point. This point automatically shifts in Z axis direction with workpiece placement position. Palletizing entry point instruction turns on XYZ optimization. ABC axis coordinates change when running to entry point.
Mark This Point: Robot moves to position first, then click mark this point.
Run to This Point: Marked value can be moved to after clicking save. Without save, moves to previously marked point. To move to this point, press DEADMAN button then click this button.
Note: Please perform position marking with the tool hand selected in gripper settings.

Approach Descending: For example: According to the set approach parameters, approach point position is 50 from workpiece point in X direction, 50 in Y direction, 50 in Z direction. Move from approach point to workpiece point using the set approach method.
Descending Approach: For example: According to the set approach parameters, auxiliary point position is 50 from workpiece point in X direction, 50 in Y direction. Move from auxiliary point to approach point (50 above workpiece point) using the set approach method, then vertically descend from approach point to workpiece point.
Pallet Detection: Pallet total count setting range is [1-5]. Fixed bound IO ports are 2-1 to 2-5. Program automatically detects IO open/close to determine pallet count. For example, when pallet total is '3', pallet thickness is '10'mm. Starting program will auto-detect IO 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 open/close. When pallet count decreases by one (2-1 or 2-2 or 2-3 any one closes), all workpiece points' Z axis direction decreases by 10mm.

Q&A
Q1: What industries do palletizing robots mainly apply to?
A: Mainly apply to food, beverage, logistics and other industries. With different grippers, can achieve boxing and palletizing of various shaped finished products.
Q2: What is the difference between complete palletizing and simple palletizing?
A: Complete palletizing supports full configuration flow including gripper settings, pallet settings, workpiece parameters, overlap mode, position settings, and plane mode. Simple palletizing provides simplified parameter setting and position debugging flow, suitable for simple palletizing scenarios.
Q3: What pattern templates does plane mode support?
A: Supports 4 fixed templates (Row-Column, Cross-Stack, Spiral, Pinwheel) and custom pattern templates.
Q4: How to determine gripper count?
A: Two suction cups picking/placing separately requires two grippers. Picking/placing simultaneously requires one gripper. Maximum 4 grippers can be set.
Q5: What repeat relationships does overlap mode layer count have?
A: Three types: Same (each layer uses same template), Alternate (two templates alternate), Custom (each layer set individually). Custom mode also has "Repeat" button to let subsequent layers automatically repeat the first N layers.
Q6: What are PALON and PALOFF instructions used for?
A: PALON is used to start palletizing. PALOFF is used for palletizing end judgment. PALENTER is palletizing entry point. PALSHIFT is palletizing auxiliary point. PALREAL is palletizing workpiece point. PALCLEAR is palletizing reset.
Q7: What is the purpose of fixed auxiliary point height?
A: When palletizing many workpieces in enclosed space, to prevent auxiliary point from rising as workpiece count increases and causing robot joint limit exceedance. After turning on, auxiliary point height remains unchanged.
Q8: What is the difference between depalletizing and palletizing?
A: Palletizing picks from pickup point and places on pallet. Depalletizing order is reversed. During depalletizing, placement height compensation parameter is invalid.
Q9: How to implement one line two stacks scenario?
A: Through PALOFF to judge if current stack is complete, then switch to next stack's craft number to continue palletizing. Supports scenarios where two stacks have same or different workpiece counts.
Q10: What is the purpose of PALSIMPLESET instruction?
A: PALSIMPLESET is the simple palletizing instruction. After filling all parameters and running, parameters are correspondingly filled into Palletizing Process/Simple Palletizing. Local positions need to be set in variables.
