Overview of KPal Solutions
KPal Palletizers
Our KPal Palletizers are built utilizing FANUC robotics and Kaufman Engineered Systems custom end-of-arm tools for precise handling and stacking of loads. Whether you need vacuum-style palletizing for sealed corrugate, spatula tooling for bundles and trays, or clamp-and-bag gripper tooling for irregular products, there’s a KPal configuration suited to your requirements. Options like tier sheet handling, pallet pickers, and our KBundle of advanced pattern programming ensure adaptability and performance across diverse production lines.
KPal Group Highlights:
-
KPal V (Vacuum): Efficient case palletizing with high cycle capability.
-
KPal S (Spatula): Ideal for bundles or trays that require delicate handling.
-
KPal C (Clamp): Flexible clamp tooling for mixed load types.
-
KPal B (Bag): High-speed bag palletizing with custom grippers.
-
KPal K5 (Full Layer): Multi-robot full-layer palletizers for large bulk products like glass and plastic containers.
Each system can be customized — with conveyors, stretch wrappers, infeed automation, vision guidance, and human-machine interfaces — to ensure seamless integration into your existing line.
