Folder Gluer + Flip Stacker + Portable Collaborative Robot
Palletizer
The Ultimate Fully Automated End-of-Line Packaging Solution
1. Product Introduction
The YOCO GROUP Fully Automated End-of-Line Packaging Production
Line integrates three high-efficiency systems into one seamless,
smart workflow: a high-speed Folder Gluer, the FZ1100 Flip Stacker,
and a Portable Collaborative Robot Palletizer.
Designed specifically for medium to large packaging industries,
this comprehensive line bridges the gap between carton folding and
final palletization. It processes cardboard and various corrugated
materials (3-ply and 5-ply, flutes A, B, C, E, EB, AB) from raw
sheets into perfectly counted, neatly flipped, and securely stacked
bundles ready for shipping.
By combining precise mechanical synchronization with advanced
human-machine collaboration, this system eliminates manual
handling, reduces labor bottlenecks, and optimizes factory floor
space.

2. Solving Your Core Production Problems
In modern packaging facilities across Europe, the Americas, and
Southeast Asia, traditional end-of-line packaging creates massive
operational bottlenecks. This integrated line directly solves these
critical industry challenges:
- Skyrocketing Labor Costs & Shortages: Finding reliable operators
for heavy, repetitive stacking and palletizing tasks is
increasingly difficult and expensive.
- Frequent Bottlenecks at High Speeds: High-speed folder gluers often
run below capacity because human packers cannot keep up with the
output.
- Inaccurate Counting & Uneven Bundles: Manual counting leads to
shipping errors, while un-flipped corrugated bundles suffer from
uneven thickness, making final pallets unstable.
- Rigid, Massive Footprints: Traditional industrial robot cells
require permanent safety fencing and massive floor spaces, which do
not fit into tight or evolving factory layouts.
3. Key Advantages & Features
FZ1100 Flip Stacker: Precision Counting & Bundle Balance
- High-Precision Sensor Counting: Utilizes a belt incline carrier and
advanced high-precision sensors to perform flawless carton
counting.
- Independent Servo-Controlled 180° Flipping: Enables automatic
180-degree rotation of alternating bundles. This compensates for
the natural thickness bias of glued carton flaps, ensuring
completely flat, uniform, and stable stacks.
- Modular & Adaptable Design: Beyond the mandatory flipping and
stacking modules, customers can freely combine functional
components (counting, flipping, stacking, and diverting) to fit
precise workflow demands.
Portable Collaborative Robot Palletizer: Smart, Safe, and Agile
- Plug-and-Play Mobility: Featuring a highly integrated, lightweight
design, this portable unit occupies a compact footprint of just 6
square meters (including double stacking zones). It can be
redeployed across multiple production lines within 2 hours.
- Zero-Programming Interface: Featuring a true "one-click startup"
system, operators can configure new visualized stacking patterns
via a user-friendly 15-inch touch screen within 5 minutes—no coding
required.
- Dual-End Tooling Adaptability: Can be customized with either a
Sucker Type (Vacuum) or Gripper Type mechanical end-effector to
seamlessly manage different-sized cartons and complex layer
configurations.
- Uncompromised Safety & CE Compliance: Certified to international CE
safety standards. It supports advanced human-machine collaboration
and can be fitted with optional laser radar protection electronic
fences or grating protection barriers.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do my operators need specialized robotic programming or coding
experience to run the palletizer?
A: Not at all. The collaborative robot features an intelligent,
visualized operating system. Setting up a new box pattern or bundle
path takes less than 5 minutes through the 15-inch touch screen
without writing a single line of code.
Q: Why is the flipping module listed as a mandatory configuration
for the FZ1100?
A: Because corrugated and folded boxes have a natural height
imbalance on the glued side. If you stack them all in the same
direction, the pile will lean and eventually fall over. The
independent servo-driven flipping module rotates bundles 180
degrees alternately, creating a perfectly balanced and stable
stack.
Q: How difficult is it to move the palletizer to another folder
gluer line?
A: It is incredibly straightforward. Thanks to its lightweight,
integrated design and portable footprint, engineering teams can
fully relocate, set up, and debug the palletizer on a new
production line within 2 hours.
Q: Can this production line handle heavy corrugated materials?
A: Yes. The FZ1100 stacker and the main line comfortably handle
thick cardboards (300g−800g) and heavy 3-ply and 5-ply corrugated
cardboards across flutes A, B, C, E, and combined flutes like
AB/EB. The robot arm supports a robust payload capacity of up to
50kg at its end-effector.
