Star Seiki's Participation in FOOMA JAPAN 2025
Star Seiki Co., Ltd., headquartered in Aichi, Japan, has announced its participation in one of the world's largest food manufacturing exhibitions, FOOMA JAPAN 2025. This event is set to take place from June 10 to June 13, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight in Koto City, Tokyo.
At this exhibition, Star Seiki will showcase its state-of-the-art robot palletizers designed to automate the pallet loading process in food manufacturing environments. The exhibit will include two models: the low-profile PXT-1235A and the versatile PXW-1420, both equipped with advanced 3D vision cameras for teaching-free depalletizing and efficient palletizing to secondary pallet positions.
The concept of these robotic palletizers is centered around being "ease of implementation" and "ease of operation," making them ideal not only for the food industry but also for pharmaceuticals and beverages. This automation technology is seeing accelerated adoption across various sectors, streamlining production processes and improving efficiency.

The Power of Automation in Pallet Loading
Star Seiki's robot palletizers are an invaluable support for repetitively intensive tasks like pallet stacking. The robot can handle cardboard boxes that, while manageable for human operators in terms of weight, turn into a physically and mentally taxing task when repeated over time. With the ability to execute this monotonous chore flawlessly, robot palletizers emerge as a robust ally in any production line.
Introducing the Palletizer Series
PXT Series (Models PXT-1220A/1220+/1235A)
- - PXT-1235A (Reference Model / Expected release soon)
This model can be introduced into spaces with limited installation footprints, even where ceiling heights are low. It meets the needs for automation in pallet stacking where such mechanization was previously unfeasible.
- Height: 2,276 mm
- Width: 2,420 mm
- Depth: 1,995 mm
- Maximum Weight Capacity: 35 kg (includes hand weight)
- Processing Capacity: 10 boxes per minute
PXW Series (Models PXW-1420/1535/1550)
This model allows for versatile stroke arrangements while optimizing space efficiency. Compared to multi-joint robots, it doesn't require significant foundational work, making it a cost-effective option for limited spaces, increasing operational efficiency.
- Height: 3,486 mm
- Width: 4,748 mm
- Depth: 2,390 mm
- Maximum Weight Capacity: 20 kg
- Processing Capacity: 10 boxes per minute
PXL Series (Model PXL-1535)
This series is designed for multi-tier stacking while maintaining a low overall height of 2,421 mm, accommodating various stacking requirements with customizable heights.
- Height: 2,421 mm
- Width: 2,323 mm
- Depth: 4,913 mm
- Maximum Weight Capacity: 35 kg
- Processing Capacity: 10 boxes per minute
Streamlining Operations with the Palletizer Editor Software
Star Seiki also provides the "Palletizer Editor," a software tool that aids in creating necessary configuration data on a computer. This offline teaching capability allows for parallel preparation during new line setups or when changing stacking products without interrupting operations on the floor.
