110 kg Payload 4-Axis Palletizing Robot, 2.4 m Reach High-Speed Palletizer

Overview

• • The ABB IRB 460-110/2.4 palletizing robot pairs a 110 kg payload with a 2.4 m reach in one floor-mounted four-axis version.
• • Parallel-arm kinematics hold cycle time at rated load, so this palletizing robot keeps output instead of slowing as cartons get heavier.
• • Power, safety ground, parallel signals, fieldbus and a 1/2 inch air line end at the tool flange, clearing cabling from the cell.
• • This palletizing robot is IP67 rated and runs on the IRC5 controller with RobotWare, one platform for motion, pattern logic and line data.
• • A 925 kg base on 12 x M24 bolts keeps this robotic palletizer rigid through fast reversals, protecting stack accuracy all shift.

Advantages

Short Cycle Time at Full Load

• • Four axes drive only the joints a stack pattern needs, cutting idle motion on every palletizing robot cycle.
• • QuickMove 2 and TrueMove give the palletizing robot 28 m/s² TCP acceleration at nominal load without overshooting the drop point.
• • Axis 6 turns at 400°/s, so layer rotation and pattern changes cost the palletizing robot almost no time.

Repeatable Stack Accuracy

• • ISO 9283 testing gives 0.20 mm pose repeatability and 0.11 mm path repeatability, keeping carton corners aligned.
• • Roughly 0.01° axis resolution supports fine placement correction when board thickness or box size drifts.
• • LoadIdentify calibrates real tool mass, removing overload drift that slowly spoils patterns on a palletizing robot.

Integrated Media and Fieldbus

• • Utility ports end at the upper arm, so gripper air and clamp signals never hang loose above the stack.
• • PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet and PROFIBUS options let the palletizing robot report to almost any line PLC.
• • Ground cable sets ship in 7 m, 15 m, 22 m and 30 m lengths, simplifying cabinet layout in existing plants.

Uptime and Simple Service

• • Maintenance-free AC motors and oil-filled gearboxes remove daily greasing from the maintenance schedule.
• • Modular cable routing extends harness life and allows single-part replacement after an unlikely fault.
• • An IP54 axis-1 cooling fan and electronic position switches keep the palletizing robot stable in dense cycles.

Applications

• • Carton stacking at the end of food, beverage and household-goods lines, the core job of this palletizing robot.
• • Bagged flour, feed, resin pellets and fertilizer, where 110 kg covers a full-layer tool.
• • Crate and shrink-wrapped tray handling ahead of stretch wrappers and label applicators.
• • Building-material and ceramic plants where the palletizing robot moves heavy boxes in warm halls.
• • Distribution centres that switch stack patterns several times per shift on one palletizing robot.
• • Depalletizing of incoming goods feeding a conveyor or order-picking line.

FAQ

What payload does this palletizing robot handle?
110 kg including the gripper; the load diagram defines the permitted centre of gravity for each offset.

Can it be wall or ceiling mounted?
No, this robotic palletizer is floor-mounted only and must not be tilted around the X or Y axis.

Which controller is required?
The IRC5 controller with RobotWare, covering motion control, pattern routines, safety signals and fieldbus links.

Is it suitable for wet or dusty plants?
The arm is IP67 rated and tolerates up to 95 percent relative humidity at constant temperature.

What foundation work does the palletizing robot need?
12 x M24 bolts torqued to 725 Nm, a common-zone base plate and 200 mm of cable clearance.

Can the working range be restricted?
Yes, axis 1 accepts mechanical stops and electronic position switches in 7.5 or 15 degree steps.
