I. Modular Design: The Core of the CP Series Palletizing Solution

The CP Series palletizing solution is a turnkey modular offering from Elite Robots, engineered for flexible, high-efficiency pallet stacking. It features two base configurations—fixed and telescopic—with a maximum stacking height of 2600mm, and is fully compatible with the CS625, CS620, and CS530H models. This design enables seamless adaptation to materials of varying weights and dimensions, as well as diverse on-site conditions, delivering true operational flexibility for palletizing tasks across industries.

II. Precision Adaptation: Synergistic Advantages of the CP Series Palletizing Solution and CS Series Robotic Arms

The modular architecture of the CP Series Palletizing Solution allows flexible pairing with different CS series collaborative robotic arms based on material payload requirements, covering full-scenario palletizing needs and ensuring a precisely matched configuration for any material weight class:

• Light to Medium Payload Adaptation: Paired with the CS612 (12kg payload), the solution efficiently handles small and medium carton palletizing, meeting end-of-line packaging demands in light industry and electronics sectors while balancing operational precision and throughput.

• Heavy Payload Adaptation: Compatible with the CS620 (20kg), CS625 (25kg), and CS530H (30kg high payload), the CP Series seamlessly manages heavy material stacking to address palletizing requirements in heavy industry, chemical engineering, and related sectors.

• High-Efficiency Gripping System: The complete solution integrates an end effector supporting single/dual vacuum suction cup switching—processing 10 cartons per minute in single mode and up to 20 cartons per minute in dual mode. It accommodates cartons, bags, boxes, and other material forms, forming a highly efficient synergy with the advanced motion control of the CS Series robotic arms.

III. User-Friendly Software: Lowering Operational Barriers for Rapid Deployment

Complex programming has long been a critical pain point for traditional palletizing equipment. The CP Series Palletizing solution addresses this challenge with an intuitive software design that enables frontline personnel to master operations quickly:

• Graphical Programming Interface: Equipped with the ERP500 full-touch teach pendant, it supports drag-and-drop teaching and a built-in palletizing wizard. No specialized programming expertise is required, and parameter setup for new tasks can be completed in just 5 minutes.

• Flexible Program Retrieval: Pre-loaded with multiple palletizing modes (e.g., multi-layer multi-pass, staggered stacking), templates can be directly accessed during product changeovers, drastically reducing production downtime.

• Remote Monitoring & Safety Controls: The optional ERP500S teach pendant features a three-mode start button and physical jog keys, supporting remote monitoring and emergency stop functionality to balance operational convenience and safety compliance.

IV. Compact Layout: Maximizing Space Utilization

The compact design of collaborative robots directly addresses the large footprint limitation of traditional palletizing equipment, making it ideal for small-to-medium warehouses and workshops:

• Small Footprint, Wide Coverage: CS series robotic arms feature a minimum footprint diameter of just 128mm (CS63) and a maximum of 240mm (CS620/CS625/CS530H), delivering significant space savings compared to conventional palletizing machines.

• 3D Space Optimization: With extra-long arm reaches (e.g., 1800mm for the CS620) and high stacking capacities (2600mm stacking height for the CS530H), the solution fully capitalizes on vertical space to enhance warehouse storage capacity.

• Flexible Mounting Options: Supporting floor, ceiling, and mobile deployment, it can be integrated at the end of existing production lines without requiring large-scale on-site renovations.

V. High-Efficiency Operation: Replacing Manual Labor for Stable Output

The integration of the CP Series palletizing solution and CS series robotic arms fully automates palletizing processes, maintaining consistent efficiency and quality in high-intensity operations:

• 24/7 Uninterrupted Operation: Capable of round-the-clock continuous operation, it eliminates efficiency fluctuations caused by human fatigue and increases daily processing volume by 2 to 3 times compared to manual labor.

• Precision Stacking Assurance: With a maximum repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.08mm (CS625), it ensures neat, stable stacking, minimizing material damage during transportation.

• Harsh Environment Resilience: Boasting an IP65 protection rating (upgradeable to IP68), it withstands dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures (-10~50℃), making it suitable for applications in food, chemical, logistics, and other industries.

The integrated solution of Elite Robots CP Series Palletizing Solution and CS Series Collaborative Robotic Arms enables flexible adaptation through modular design, lowers deployment barriers with intuitive operation, and seamlessly integrates into existing production lines via a compact layout—ultimately achieving the automated upgrade of end-of-line packaging processes. More than just replacing labor-intensive manual work, this combined solution helps enterprises reduce costs and boost production capacity with its inherent advantages of flexibility, high precision and space efficiency, establishing itself as a core solution for elevating end-of-line packaging efficiency in the manufacturing industry.
