PalletTool 3 - Determining the Utool Values for Standard Grippers
Learn how to set accurate UTOOL values for standard grippers in PalletTool 3, including Z and R offsets, for precise palletizing performance.
In this video, we will go over the major advantages of FANUC’s new PalletTool 3 software and how it represents a significant step forward in robotic palletizing. For years, PalletTool has been known for its reliability, flexibility, and standardized approach to palletizing automation. With PalletTool 3, FANUC has introduced a refreshed interface and a more intuitive workflow that make the setup process faster, clearer, and more efficient for both new users and experienced programmers.
We will explore how PalletTool 3 builds on proven features while introducing modern tools that simplify everything from creating pallet patterns to teaching robot locations. The software has been designed for the tablet teach pendant, which allows us to configure a palletizing application directly on the device without a PC or laptop. The new visual tools, smarter pattern builders, and guided setup wizards help reduce setup time and improve accuracy while giving us the ability to adapt quickly to layout changes or product variations.
Throughout the video, we will walk through the essential capabilities that make PalletTool 3 a strong fit for both collaborative robots and traditional high speed industrial systems. The updated interface makes it easier to understand how each configuration choice affects the robot’s performance. The added visual aids, including a 4D graphics display, help us verify reach, paths, and pattern stability in real time.
Below are some of the key system requirements and capabilities we will outline:
• Tablet teach pendant interface
• FANUC industrial robots and CR or CRX cobots
• Support for multi case grippers
• Integrated password protection and access levels
We will also cover what you will learn in the session:
• How to use the drag and drop pattern builder to create custom pallet patterns
• How automatic pattern generation works from basic box dimensions
• How setup wizards guide us through drop direction, rotation, and order
• How to teach infeed and pallet locations without special tools
• How multi zone gripper support improves throughput
• How PalletPRO can still be used for offline simulation
By the end, we will have a clear picture of how PalletTool 3 simplifies the entire palletizing workflow and how its scalable design supports everything from small collaborative applications to large multi line palletizing systems. This overview will help us understand why the latest generation of PalletTool provides a more intuitive, flexible, and future ready approach to robotic palletizing.
