KPAL Collaborative Group

KPal Collaborative Group of Robotic Systems
Designed for Safe Human Interaction
Kaufman's KPal Collaborative Group of palletizers is a perfect fit for applications that require a small footprint and safe human interaction. The collaborative group of palletizers shines in the end-of-line arena where tight spaces are available, and low-to-moderate case rates are the design requirement. These systems are meticulously designed to provide the perfect balance of space and operator interaction, offering a cost-effective palletizing solution powered by cutting-edge technology.
The KPal Collaborative systems are usually designed and built with vacuum-style end-of-arm tooling for conventional sealed corrugate cases. We tailor our Collaborative systems to your industry, and with a long list of standard and optional features, these solutions will help you increase your return on investment.
