RoboAccess_Pal S

RoboAccess_Pal S is Sidel's compact robotic palletizing system that unites the best of the cobotic and robotic worlds: high palletizing performance in a compact footprint, designed for the low and medium-speed packaging lines of the Food, Home and Personal Care segments. 

Why combine robotics and cobotics 

Brand owners in the Food, Home and Personal Care markets often look for compact, affordable palletizing systems for their low/medium-speed lines. Cobotic solutions have a strong presence in these segments, but some applications reach the limits of the technology in terms of speed and payload. Traditional robotic palletizers offer higher technical performance, but with a larger footprint and a longer return on investment. RoboAccess_Pal S combines the two approaches. 

Backed by 50+ years of palletizing expertise 

This compact robotic palletizing system benefits from more than 50 years of Sidel expertise in palletizing, with 5,500 installations worldwide, including 1,500 in robotics and 250 in cobotics. The result is a high level of agility, operability and performance. 

In the field: Beiersdorf, Argentona (Spain) 

Angel Meza, Project Manager at the Beiersdorf plant in Argentona, chose RoboAccess_Pal S as an affordable palletizer able to fit into the narrow area previously used for manual palletizing. Cobotic units without guarding did not meet the plant's internal safety standards, and the team wanted a futureproof solution able to handle payload and speed increases in case of line upgrades. He highlights the performance/footprint ratio and the guards that can be folded if the unit needs to be moved to another line; five months after installation the team found the solution simple and user-friendly, and is studying the acquisition of further units.
