What’s the difference between EP100, EP200, EP300 and EP400?

EP100 are compact dual-station palletizers (EP100–EP191) for continuous palletizing in tight spaces. EP200 are high-speed FlexPicker cells (EP220–EP260) with vision for product picking. EP300 are integrated systems combining case erecting, packing, labeling and palletizing. EP400 are specialized cells for complex tasks such as crate depalletizing, carton erecting, or pallet collar handling.
