The VAL·U·PAL combines the basic flexibility of a traditional robotic palletizer with the simplicity and maintainability of a traditional palletizer (industry standard components such as PLCs are used throughout). All of this is accomplished at the industries’ lowest cost for a fully automated palletizer including infeed conveying, pallet dispensing and handling, and slip sheet handling. The total cost of a VAL·U·PAL system, in most instances, will be less than the cost of a basic robot arm.
