Palletizing & Load Handling Protection

Safeguard Every Part of Your Palletizing System

Talk to a safety specialist

Speed and precision are key in modern palletizing and depalletizing systems. But when conveyors, palletizers, robots, grippers and sensors work together, safety must be integrated from the start. Safeguarding one point is not enough. The entire system needs integrated safety. From early layout planning to final installation, Axelent helps you build safety that supports your process.

System-level safety starts with zoning

In palletizing systems, risks appear throughout the line. Hazards can occur in robot cells, along conveyors, at handoff points or during manual tasks like restocking, inspections or fault handling. These interactions require access, and that’s when protection becomes critical.

Common risk points include:

  • Robot cells with high-speed arms and grippers
  • Conveyor crossings and pallet transfer zones
  • Manual access points for cleaning, fault handling or restocking

Our safety solutions for palletizing systems

Axelent helps you define safety zones based on how people and machines interact. We don’t just safeguard the machine position. We protect the real flow.

We offer a complete range of modular safety solutions. Our systems include machine guarding, doors, locks, pedestrian barriers, impact protection and safe access points. Each solution is quick to install, easy to adapt and designed to grow with your automation. By combining physical protection with visual zoning and interlocks, we help reduce risk and keep productivity high.

Compliance from the start

Axelent safety systems are engineered to meet key international standards for machine and industrial safety, including ISO 12100,  ISO 13857, ISO 14120, ANSI B11.0 and ANSI B11.19. All solutions are developed in line with the EU Machinery Directive/Regulation, OSHA regulations and relevant harmonised standards.

By integrating safety early in the design phase, we help you create layouts that are:

  • Adapted to real risks
  • Verifiable
  • Aligned with EU and US compliance requirements

Our systems support functional safety measures such as interlocking, escape release and access control, and are designed to facilitate validation during conformity assessment, CE marking and third-party inspections.

Check before you build

With Axelent Safety Design, you get full control over your safety layout before installation begins. The tool lets you draw guarding in 2D and 3D, place access points and define safety distances. You can simulate movement, test configurations and generate all the documentation and parts lists you need for a smooth installation and approval process.

Instead of guesswork, you get a clear, validated solution, ready to protect your palletizing system from day one.
