By end-of-arm tooling · Cobot palletizing
Fork tool for bagged grain and feed
In short
A metal fork slides under or between bags instead of gripping their surface, which is what makes depalletizing — taking bags off a pallet — possible as well as palletizing. The tool mounts on the same cobot cells and runs at the same 8–10 cycles a minute.
- Works in both directions: palletizing and depalletizing
- Metal fork reaches between bags on a stacked pallet
- Same cobot cell, quick-change coupling
- 8–10 cycles a minute on bagged grain, feed and fertilizer

Buyer questions
What buyers ask before ordering
Can the same robot depalletize and palletize?
+
Yes with a fork tool. The fork slides between bags, so the cell can take a pallet apart for feeding as well as build one at the end of the line.
What materials does the fork suit?
+
Bagged grain, feed, fertiliser and similar free-flowing fill in woven or paper sacks — the applications where a vacuum cup leaks and a clamp cannot reach the bag body on a tight stack.
How is the tool changed?
+
With a quick-release coupling. Swapping between fork and clamp or vacuum takes minutes, so one cell can cover several pack formats.
Does this change the cycle rate?
+
No. The cells run 8–10 cycles a minute whatever the tool, so the pallet rate depends on the pattern rather than the gripper.
