Compact Cobot Palletising for Low-Speed Production Lines
The Fibre King Little Pal is a compact cobot palletiser designed to automate repetitive pallet stacking on low-speed production lines. It provides food, beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care and FMCG manufacturers with a practical way to reduce manual lifting, improve pallet consistency and introduce robotic palletising without the footprint of a large industrial system.
Designed around a compact 3m x 2m layout, the Little Pal can palletise cartons, cases, crates and shrink-wrapped packs weighing up to 15kg. Its extended reach supports accurate placement across the pallet, while two palletising positions allow operators to remove a completed pallet without unnecessarily interrupting production.
With speeds of up to five cycles per minute, integrated controls and flexible line-integration options, the Little Pal is suited to manufacturers looking for an affordable first step into end-of-line automation.

Reliable Automatic Palletising in a Compact Footprint
The Little Pal automates the repetitive handling and stacking of packaged products at the end of a production line. Products are presented to the cobot by an infeed conveyor, picked using a purpose-designed gripper and placed according to the selected pallet pattern.
The system combines repeatable product placement with straightforward operator control, helping manufacturers:
-
Reduce repetitive manual lifting
-
Maintain consistent pallet patterns
-
Improve pallet stability and presentation
-
Continue production during labour shortages and breaks
-
Make better use of limited floor space
-
Increase end-of-line capacity without adding another manual palletising position
Cobot Controls and Safety Integration
The Little Pal incorporates collaborative robot technology, integrated controls and application-specific safety measures. Depending on the completed risk assessment and system configuration, the palletiser can respond to people entering the monitored workspace by reducing speed or stopping operation.
Operators can use the integrated colour HMI to select pallet patterns, monitor system status and manage normal production functions. Remote-access capability also assists Fibre King technicians with fault diagnosis and technical support.
