…off its new OnRobot Palletizer. Kristian Hulgard, the Odense, Denmark-based company’s general manager for the Americas, said the EOAT maker is moving toward offering application-focused products rather than only selling grippers. Hulgard said the palletizer uses both OnRobot's hardware and software. “The hardware is a telescopic lift that can lift the robot up to palletize tall stacks of boxes,” he said. “It also comes with two different tools to handle different types and different sizes of boxes.” OnRobot is trying to expand its horizons and sell more than just grippers, acknowledged Hulgard. “We've come a long way introducing the cobot…
