SIASUN SP160-160-3.05 (SP160-160/3.05)

At the end of every packing line there is a moment when cartons, sacks and crates stop being individual units and become a load that a forklift can move. Getting that moment right, layer after layer and shift after shift, is less about versatility and more about strength, reach and patience. The SIASUN SP160-160-3.05 (SP160-160/3.05) is built around that moment: a floor-mounted, heavy-payload arm with dedicated palletizing software, designed to stack loads that would quickly exhaust a manual team and to keep doing so without drifting from its programmed pattern.

Robots Europa, based in Dublin, supplies the SP160-160/3.05 to manufacturers, logistics operators and system integrators across the European Union and the DACH region. We prepare a quotation for each project, arrange delivery to your site and remain your point of contact for technical questions once the robot is in service.

Background

SIASUN and its engineering lineage

SIASUN Robot & Automation Co., Ltd. is a Chinese robotics manufacturer based in Shenyang, with roots in the robotics research of the Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Over the years the company has grown from research-driven development into a broad industrial supplier, building industrial robot arms, mobile robots for material handling and complete automation lines. That breadth matters to a buyer of a palletizing robot: the arm at the end of the line is usually only one element in a larger flow of conveyors, transport vehicles and warehouse systems, and SIASUN designs products for several of those stages. The wider range is presented in our SIASUN category.

Positioning: a four-axis arm for heavy stacking

The SP160-160/3.05 has four degrees of freedom and is equipped with dedicated software for palletizing. Its model designation follows its headline figures: a payload of 160 kg and a reach of 3050 mm. It is driven by the SIASUN SRC E5 controller and is intended for floor mounting. In the general landscape of industrial robotics, four-axis arms of this kind are the workhorses of end-of-line automation, where the task is to lift, carry and set down rather than to manipulate a part through complex orientations. The SP160-160/3.05 sits at the heavy end of that class, suited to loads such as filled sacks, bundled goods and multi-pack cases.

Technical Specifications

The manufacturer has not published the dimensions, the operating temperature range, the included accessories, the arm structure weight at the wrist or the allowable moment of inertia; these are confirmed at quotation.

What makes a four-axis palletizer different from a six-axis robot?

A six-axis articulated robot can tilt and rotate its tool in almost any direction, which is essential for welding seams on curved parts or assembling components at awkward angles. Palletizing rarely asks for that. A carton or a sack is picked from a conveyor, carried across, turned to suit the stacking pattern and set down flat on the pallet. A four-axis arm such as the SP160-160/3.05 is designed for exactly that motion: it keeps the load level while moving it through the working envelope, and it devotes its structure to carrying weight rather than to wrist dexterity.

The practical consequences for a buyer are straightforward. With a payload of 160 kg, the arm can handle the end-of-arm tooling together with the product itself, whether that tooling is a gripper for sacks, a fork for bundles or a vacuum head for cases. The reach of 3050 mm allows one robot to serve an infeed conveyor and pallet positions arranged around its base. The repeatability of ± 0.2 mm keeps successive layers aligned, which matters for stable loads that survive transport. Finally, the dedicated palletizing software means that stacking patterns are configured within a tool built for the purpose, rather than programmed point by point.

Can the SP160-160/3.05 be used for tasks other than palletizing?

Yes. Although the robot is supplied with dedicated palletizing software, SIASUN describes it as suitable for assembly, loading and unloading, welding and other production stages, with the aim of making a production line more flexible and efficient. In practice, this means the same arm can be considered for machine tending, where heavy parts are loaded into or removed from equipment, or for moving heavy components between stations in an assembly cell.

Whether a particular non-palletizing task is a good match depends on the motion it requires. Tasks that can be performed with the load kept level suit a four-axis arm well; tasks that need the tool tilted at varying angles are generally better served by a six-axis robot. The IP53 protection rating should also be considered against the environment: it indicates a degree of protection against dust and against spraying water, which suits typical factory and warehouse floors. We are happy to review your application with you before preparing the offer.

Who is the SIASUN SP160-160-3.05 (SP160-160/3.05) for?

The first group of buyers is manufacturers whose finished goods leave the line in heavy units: producers of building materials, animal feed, fertiliser, chemicals, food ingredients and beverages. For them the robot replaces strenuous manual stacking and gives a predictable output at the end of the line.

The second group is logistics and distribution operators who build mixed or uniform pallets in warehouses and need a robust arm that can work alongside conveyors and transport systems. Where pallets must also be moved automatically after stacking, SIASUN's mobile robots can complement the arm; these are listed in the SIASUN category.

The third group is system integrators who design complete palletizing cells for their own customers. The controller, cable connection and power consumption figures give them a starting point for electrical and control planning. Only one version of this model is named, so there is no lighter or longer-reach variant of the SP160-160/3.05 to compare against here.

What is the SIASUN SP160-160-3.05 (SP160-160/3.05) used for?

1. End-of-line palletizing: stacking finished cartons, cases and sacks onto pallets in configurable patterns.
2. Depalletizing: taking incoming goods off pallets and placing them onto conveyors for further processing.
3. Loading and unloading: moving heavy parts into and out of machines or between production stations.
4. Assembly support: positioning heavy components within an assembly cell where the load stays level.
5. Welding cells: handling workpieces within welding operations, as named among the robot's suitable applications.
6. Warehouse load building: assembling stable pallet loads ready for storage or dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What payload does the SP160-160/3.05 handle?

The robot has a payload of 160 kg. This figure has to cover both the end-of-arm tooling and the product being handled, so the gripper weight should be considered when sizing the application.

How far can the robot reach?

The reach is 3050 mm. This allows a single arm to serve a conveyor and several pallet positions arranged around its base, depending on the cell layout.

Which controller does it use?

The SP160-160/3.05 is operated by the SIASUN SRC E5 controller and is equipped with dedicated palletizing software.

How is the robot mounted?

The robot is designed for floor mounting. The robot weighs 1000 kg, which should be taken into account when planning the foundation and anchoring.

Is it suitable for dusty or damp environments?

The robot carries an IP53 protection rating, which indicates a degree of protection against dust and against spraying water. For harsher environments, please discuss the conditions with us before quotation.

What are the power requirements?

The power consumption is 8 kVA, and the robot connects via a 32-core cable. Our team will go through the electrical requirements of your site with you.

Where can I buy the SIASUN SP160-160-3.05 (SP160-160/3.05) and what does it cost?

You can obtain the robot from Robots Europa, which supplies it across the EU and the DACH region. The cost depends on the configuration and scope of your project, so we provide it in a tailored quotation rather than as a list price.

Summary

The moment at the end of a line when individual products become a single load is where the SIASUN SP160-160-3.05 (SP160-160/3.05) earns its place. Its four-axis design keeps loads level, its 160 kg payload and 3050 mm reach cover heavy goods and a generous working area, and its dedicated palletizing software turns stacking patterns into configuration rather than programming. The same arm can also be considered for loading, assembly and welding-related handling. Robots Europa supplies it with delivery, customs and support arranged as part of the quotation; for a palletizing cell that has to work reliably shift after shift, this page is the starting point.
