Vancouver, WA robotic palletizing integrator; joint venture since 1996 with 700+ systems installed across food, chemical, and industrial sectors.
Columbia/Okura, LLC is a robotic palletizing systems specialist founded in 1996 as a joint venture between Columbia Machine, Inc. — a Vancouver, Washington material handling company founded in 1934 — and Okura Yusoki Co., Ltd., a Japanese industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1927 in Kakogawa City, Hyogo, Japan. Headquartered at 301 Grove St, Suite A, Vancouver, WA 98661, Columbia/Okura designs, integrates, and commissions end-of-line robotic palletizing solutions for a broad range of industries.
With over 700 robotic palletizers installed across North America and internationally, the company is one of the most experienced dedicated robotic palletizing integrators in the industry. Columbia/Okura provides full custom engineering for each installation, accounting for the customer's current production environment and future growth requirements.
The company's product portfolio includes three primary lines. The dynaPAL industrial robot palletizer is the company's flagship heavy-duty system, integrating with upstream and downstream equipment since 1996; it handles payloads up to 350 kg and supports bags, boxes, bundles, pails, spot packs, and trays with easy-to-program pattern-building software. The Ai-Series robotic palletizers operate in compact spaces (as small as 15 ft x 17 ft with 9.5 ft ceiling height), complete up to 1,800 cycles per hour, handle payloads up to 353 lbs (approximately 160 kg), and feature touch-screen user-pattern programming. The miniPAL collaborative robot palletizer series offers smaller-footprint solutions using cobot arms, including the miniPAL 20 (20 kg payload), miniPAL 30 (30 kg payload), and miniPAL+ (UR20 arm, 44 lbs lifting capacity, 5.7 ft reach, approx. 10.5 ft x 12.5 ft footprint for two-pallet configuration); the miniPAL+ can be integrated and operational within a single day.
Industries served include agriculture, animal feed, seed, pet food, chemicals, minerals, milling, food and beverage, building materials, and medical products. Columbia/Okura provides 24/7/365 customer support and in-stock OEM parts.
