They are used for a wide variety of tasks in manufacturing and other industries, including sorting, stacking, moving, and packaging products.Pick and place robots are available for a wide range of applications.
Whilst this gives you an overview of pick and place robots, the exact type of pick and place robot to suit your application will be very dependent on your specific requirements.Robotic pick and place systems can be configured for multiple different types of products and plant layouts.
As a robotic handling system, it can run without any operator input, to pick and place parts from one process into another, or from a process into packaging or any other application where items need to be moved from one place to another.
Here’s a look at a few of the most common applications for pick and place robots and how they’re used.Pick and place robots used in assembly applications grab incoming parts from one location, such as a conveyor, and place or affix the part on another piece of the item.
The two joined parts are then transported to the next assembly area.The primary benefits of pick and place robots are speed and consistency.
Robots can be customized to meet specific production requirements, and they’re easily programmable so they can be used for multiple applications.
