360° palletizing and depalletizing robot

Optimize your packaging flow with a robot offering seamless 360° operation for precise and adaptable palletizing, depalletizing, and distribution in high-speed production environments.

Palletizes and Depalletizes Containers Efficiently

The Innopal RK articulated robot from KHS Group is an exceptional solution tailored for efficient palletizing and depalletizing across the beverage, food, and packaging industries. Its multi-axis design enables seamless operation within a 360° working radius, free from dead spots, allowing the manipulation of diverse container types such as plastic crates, kegs, cartons, and more. Boasting a robust load capacity of up to 570 kg, this robot integrates seamlessly into your production line, facilitating high-speed sorting, stacking, and distribution tasks. The Innopal RK is PLC-controlled, offering flexible programming and remote monitoring, while ensuring energy efficiency with its regenerative braking system and modular control architecture. Constructed with wear-resistant materials, it provides longevity and reduced maintenance, while optional automation features such as automatic head change enhance operational flexibility by accommodating both non-returnable and returnable packaging. Whether dealing with spring water bottles, cola cans, or whiskey barrels, this equipment ensures precise, reliable, and efficient handling, optimizing your throughput and enhancing overall production continuity.
