Robot Arm Pick And Place

Typical Systems

Robot arm pick and place systems are mainly based around a Fanuc robotic arm.

All systems are servo driven and can achieve a high throughput speed, placing items into plastic or cardboard trays and containers.

Objects are pick up from the conveyor feeding them into the cell and can be picked up either singularly or in multiples.

A selection of robots are available to suit project payload, throughput speed or working environment.

As well as packing trays and boxes, variations allow for the automatic filling and indexing of dollies, trolleys and carts. Typical systems include a pack accumulation system and an automatic supermarket dolly indexing system with a Fanuc robotic arm loading the cart with bags of produce.

Vision Systems

To enhance pick & place systems, state of the art vision solutions can be used, installations can identify a variety of object characteristics in preparation for picking, these include position, colour, size, product, weight and even orientation.

Safety Requirements

All systems are supplied with approved safety fencing with Smartscan entry/exit guards and a safety key lock system.

Pack & Tray Specification

Typical objects for pick and place systems include:

Soft Fruit.
Exotic Fruit.
Top Fruit.
Chilled Ready Meals.
Snack Foods.
Frozen Foods.
Prepared Fruit & Vegetables.
Prepared Salads.

Because of the flexibility of pick & place systems, virtually anything that is of a regular shape and size can be picked and placed.

Planning In

Pick and place systems are designed for the space and environment they are to be used in. As well as speed and product requirements there are safety aspects to be considered. Potential systems require a full site survey and careful planning to provide the perfect solution to the customers needs.
