Palletising is one of the clearest opportunities for practical automation: the task is repetitive, physically demanding and easy to measure. The FAIRINO FR20 brings the payload, reach and flexibility needed to turn the end of a packaging line into a stable, repeatable process - with an FR20-based palletising solution offered at €26,100.
The result is a compelling entry point for manufacturers that want to reduce manual lifting without committing to a large, highly customised automation project. The solution combines the FAIRINO FR20 collaborative robot with a modular palletising workstation designed for fast deployment and straightforward operation.
What makes the €26,100 offer so attractive?
Automation budgets can grow quickly when every part of a cell must be engineered from scratch. A standardised FR20 palletising platform reduces that uncertainty. Robot, workstation and palletising workflow are built around the same task, giving production teams a clearer route from feasibility check to a working cell.
INVESTMENT
FR20 palletising solution: €26,100
Final quotation confirms the precise scope, VAT treatment and any application-specific gripper, safety, conveyor, installation or integration items.
That transparency matters. The price is meaningful because it provides a concrete starting point, while the application review ensures the final solution is sized for the real product, pallet pattern, line rate and operator workflow.
Why the FR20 is built for palletising
20 kg payload for real end-of-line loads
The FR20 offers a rated payload of 20 kg. This makes it suitable for many cartons, trays, bags and packaged products that are uncomfortable or unsafe to lift repeatedly throughout a shift. As with every robot application, the payload calculation must include the product, gripper, brackets, hoses and cables - not only the box itself.
1,854 mm reach for deeper pallets and taller stacks
Reach is often the deciding factor in palletising. With 1,854 mm of reach, the FR20 can cover a generous working envelope and access demanding placement positions across the pallet. This can simplify the layout, reduce the need for additional mechanical axes and help the cell serve common European pallet formats. The final layout should always be validated against the highest and furthest placement point.
Repeatable stacking, shift after shift
With repeatability of ±0.1 mm and TCP speed of up to 2 m/s, the FR20 provides a strong foundation for consistent case placement. Neat, repeatable stacks improve pallet stability, reduce packaging damage and make downstream wrapping, labelling, storage and transport more predictable. Actual cycle time depends on the load, path, gripper and required safety mode.
Seven practical benefits on the production floor
1. Better ergonomics
Repeated lifting from conveyor height to floor level or the top of a pallet places a heavy load on the back, shoulders and wrists. Automating this motion removes one of the least attractive jobs at the end of the line and lets people focus on quality, replenishment, changeovers and exception handling.
2. More consistent output
A programmed pallet pattern does not become tired, rush the last layer or change stacking style between operators. The cell follows the approved recipe consistently, supporting stable output across long shifts and seasonal peaks.
3. Faster product changeovers
FAIRINO's web-based teaching and dedicated palletising workflow make it easier to create and select approved pallet recipes. When carton size, layer pattern or pallet format changes, the operator can switch to a validated setup instead of rebuilding the automation logic from zero.
4. Compact, modular deployment
The modular workstation has a listed footprint of 1,200 x 1,100 mm. That compact base can make the solution easier to position beside an existing conveyor, while the long reach covers the palletising envelope. A detailed layout check still needs to include pallets, access routes, forklift traffic and any safeguarding.
5. Easier integration
FR20 supports widely used industrial communication options, helping integrators connect the cell to conveyors, sensors, line controls and production systems. Open interfaces also give experienced automation teams room to extend the solution when the application grows.
6. Flexible production planning
A cobot-based cell is especially valuable on low-to-medium throughput lines, mixed product runs and operations where floor space matters. It can stabilise a labour-sensitive process while preserving the ability to adapt recipes for new products.
7. A stronger path to ROI
A €26,100 entry price makes the business case easier to test against measurable benefits: hours of repetitive work removed, overtime avoided, more reliable line output, fewer damaged cases and better use of skilled operators. For a realistic calculation, use actual shift data and include the complete installed scope. Our detailed guide explains when a 20 kg cobot palletising project pays off.
Collaborative does not mean risk-free
A 20 kg moving load, vacuum tool, conveyor and pallet introduce hazards that must be assessed as one complete workstation. Depending on the product, speed and access requirements, the final cell may use reduced-speed operation, safety scanners, interlocked access or guarding. The right safety concept protects people without creating unnecessary interruptions to production.
From real product to a proven palletising cell
The best next step is a short application review using the real case, real gripper concept, pallet dimensions, target stack height and actual line rate. FAIRINO Europe can check payload margin, reach, cycle time, pallet pattern and safety requirements before the system is released for production.
