The 3D vision system automatically identifies different SKUs such as bottles, bags, boxes, etc., switches the palletizing pattern with one click, and can continuously output up to 900 packages/hour. There is no need to send additional manpower during peak seasons, so that the end of your food production line can truly achieve the same set of equipment during off-peak and peak seasons.
Iron and steel metallurgical industry
Heavy-duty palletizing replaces labor and eliminates safety accidents at the end. The GLS-PL-H heavy-duty palletizing robot has a payload coverage of up to 600 kg. Cooperation with leading steel companies such as Shagang Group and Yonggang Group has verified its reliability in heavy industrial environments.
It has a built-in overload protection and torque monitoring system, the end clamp is specially designed for steel packaging, and the IP65 protection level can cope with dust and moisture conditions, reducing over 90% of work-related injuries related to heavy-duty palletizing on average every year.
Auto parts
Multi-SKU mixed line palletizing reduces production change time from 4 hours to 30 minutes. The GLS palletizing solution we provide to automotive customers such as Jatco supports mixed-line palletizing of 50+ parts packaging specifications, and the production changeover time is reduced from 4 hours in the traditional solution to less than 30 minutes.
Each pallet automatically generates batch traceability records to meet the OEM’s strict audit requirements for supply chain traceability.

Intelligent force control technology reduces defective product rate by 40%
There is no room for error in the electronic production process, and the GLS force-controlled collaborative robot can monitor and autonomously adjust end-end work intensity in real time.
Whether it is terminal pressing, locking screws or circuit board insertion, the force is uniform and uniform throughout the process, and the operation is stable and standardized.
After being put into use by many cooperative customers, the defective product rate can be reduced by 40% in the first month, completely reducing rework losses and significantly increasing production profits.
Flexible and easy to move, complete production line switching in a single day
Nowadays, products in the electronics industry are iterating rapidly, and fixed automation equipment has long been unable to keep up with the production pace.
This lightweight collaborative robot weighs as little as 11 kilograms and is equipped with a magnetic base. It can be quickly moved and deployed in the factory, and the workstation can be relocated within a few hours.
Products can be quickly switched without complex reprogramming, significantly reducing setup times and simplifying production adjustments. This not only enables fast delivery of orders, but also improves the overall operational efficiency of the production line.
Palletizing Robot Maintenance Guide
Maintenance plans are simple, regularized, and can be put directly into the factory’s standard work instructions.
| Cycle | Task Content | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | Clean the contact surface of the end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) | 3-5 minutes |
| Daily | Check the status and suction pressure of vacuum suction cups | 2 minutes |
| Daily | Check the vision system lens for dust and condensed water | 1 minute |
| Daily | Verify the accuracy of the palletizing pattern for the first 3 pallets | 5 minutes |
| Weekly | Check the cable routing along the robot arm | 10 minutes |
| Weekly | Clean the conveyor interface and sensor surface | 10 minutes |
| Monthly | Calibrate TCP (Tool Center Point) | 20 minutes |
| Monthly | Test all safety devices | 15 minutes |
| Monthly | Inspect gripper wear parts | 20 minutes |
| Quarterly | Lubricate all robot axis joints (Axis 1-6) | 45 minutes |
| Quarterly | Inspect the backlash of each axis reducer | 30 minutes |
| Annually | Full-axis kinematic calibration | 2-3 hours |
| Annually | Safety system audit – ISO 10218-2 | 2 hours |

Maintenance's Most Common Mistakes
- Neglecting vacuum cup inspection is the most common problem. A suction cup with a 15% drop in suction power will not trigger an alarm immediately, but will bring the pallet collapse rate back to close to artificial levels within 3 weeks.
- Replace the suction cup every 6 months under standard conditions and every 3 months in high temperature or oily environments.
