Palletising
Cobots, gripping systems, axes and dedicated accessories open up new possibilities in palletising, even as spaces, formats and loads change. Fortek helps you find your way through the available technologies based on the real needs of the application.
Our palletising products
Fortek develops robotic and collaborative palletising solutions designed around your process: product, weight, format, production rate, pallet pattern and available space. From choosing the robot and gripper to pallet handling and line integration, every element works as part of a single system.
We turn a repetitive task into a precise, continuous process perfectly integrated with production.
Different boxes. Different formats. Changing rates. Tight spaces. Production that has to keep running without interruption. Palletising is often the last step on the line, but it can become one of the most critical points in the entire production process. That's why we don't start with the robot: we start with what you need to move, how fast you need to move it and how it must arrive at its destination. We analyse the cycle to build a solution that communicates with the rest of production and adapts to real operating conditions.
Technology that fits what you need to do.
A system,
not a single robot
Everything has to work together. An effective palletising cell comes from integrating several technologies:
- Robotics to carry out the handling
- EOAT and vacuum for reliable gripping
- Pneumatics and motion for movements and auxiliary devices
- Sensors and control to know the process status at all times
- Safety to operate correctly in the production environment
- Autonomous handling when the process continues beyond pallet building
From product to pallet.
Without interruption.
The system coordinates product picking, placement according to the planned palletising pattern and layer-by-layer management until the pallet is complete.
Robots, gripping systems, sensors, control, safety and handling are selected and configured to suit the application: mechanical precision and automation intelligence work together.
From analysis to
commissioning
A journey that starts from your process. Before talking about models, payloads or grippers, we understand what the system really has to do.
We analyse the application, assess product and layout, size the technologies and define the best-suited configuration, taking into account flexibility, maintenance and the future development of the plant.

Welding and laser cutting
Specialist operations such as welding and laser cutting can benefit from robotic systems that repeat paths and processes consistently.
Pick and place
Cobots, grippers, vacuum and vision systems can be combined to meet a wide range of picking and placing requirements.
Machine tending
Machine tending is one of the most natural applications for collaborative robotics, especially when you want to automate repetitive operations without overhauling the existing process.
Material handling and intralogistics
Autonomous mobile robots and robotic pallet jacks automate part of these flows while staying far more flexible than systems tied to fixed routes.
