Cobot Palletizing —
Collaborative End-of-Line Automation
FANUC CRX-30iA and ABB GoFa for bag, carton, and case palletizing — no safety fencing, no facility changes, ROI in 6–12 months. Xpert Robotics is an authorized FANUC and ABB integrator in Israel.
Cobot vs Industrial Robot for Palletizing
Not every line needs an industrial robot. The cobot wins when flexibility, simplicity, or investment budget is the deciding factor.
| Criterion | Cobot Palletizer | Industrial Robot |
|---|---|---|
| Max Payload | Up to 30 kg (CRX-30iA) | Up to 800 kg (IRB 6700) |
| Pallet Height | 2.4 m (CRX-30iA) | Up to 3.2 m |
| Speed | 400–600 cycles/hr | 800–1,200 cycles/hr |
| Safety Fencing | Not required | Mandatory |
| Programming | Hours — hand-guidance | Days |

Cobots We Deploy for Palletizing
FANUC CRX-30iA
FANUC's highest-payload cobot — 30 kg at 1,889 mm reach. Covers full pallet height (2.4 m) with no fencing, no floor plan changes. IP67 for food and industrial environments. We deploy the CRX-30iA for bags (flour, sugar, legumes), cartons, and bottle trays.
ABB GoFa CRB 15000
ABB cobot with force sensing on every joint — stops in milliseconds on human contact. Ideal for light palletizing (cartons up to 5 kg) and fragile products. Operates alongside workers with zero safety fencing.
Authorized FANUC & ABB Integrator in Israel
We deploy CRX and GoFa cobots across food, medical, and logistics sectors in Israel. Every cobot palletizing project starts with a line survey — we recommend the right solution for your line, not the easiest one to sell.

Line Survey
We measure payload, carton/bag geometry, line speed, pallet height, and shifts — and specify whether a cobot or industrial robot fits best.
Cell Design
Cell layout, gripper selection (vacuum, mechanical, mixed), conveyor, and PLC integration. We provide a 3D diagram for your approval before ordering.
Installation & Programming
Assembly, pallet pattern programming, gripper calibration, and acceptance test on real products at your facility.
Training & SLA
4-hour operator training. 8-hour SLA for critical faults. Remote monitoring. Annual maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions — Cobot Palletizing
What is cobot palletizing?
Cobot palletizing uses a collaborative robot to stack cartons, bags, trays, or cases onto pallets at end of line. Unlike industrial robots, cobots operate alongside workers without safety fencing, enabling installation in existing production rooms without construction changes.
How much does a cobot palletizing system cost in Israel?
A complete cobot palletizing cell (robot + gripper + integration + programming) typically costs ILS 280,000–450,000. A FANUC CRX-30iA with vacuum gripper and ready-to-run cell typically lands at ILS 330,000–380,000. Typical ROI is 6–12 months replacing one operator shift.
What is the difference between a cobot palletizer and an industrial robot palletizer?
A cobot (up to 30 kg, 400–600 cycles/hr) is preferable when product mix is variable, floor space is limited, or budget is constrained. An industrial robot (up to 800 kg, 1,200 cycles/hr) is preferable for high-volume stable-product lines.
Which cobot is best for palletizing?
For payload up to 30 kg and pallet height 2.4 m — the FANUC CRX-30iA is the standard. For environments with frequent human interaction or payload up to 5 kg — the ABB GoFa CRB 15000. Xpert Robotics deploys both in Israel.
Does a cobot palletizer need safety fencing?
No. Cobots are built with force-sensing and stop in milliseconds on human contact. They are certified to ISO TS 15066 and EN ISO 10218 for operation alongside people without fencing.
How fast is a cobot palletizer?
The FANUC CRX-30iA reaches 400–600 cycles per hour. For volume above 800 cycles/hr — an industrial robot such as the FANUC M-410iC is the right solution.
