Robotic Pick and Place System Configurations
Our robotic pick and place machines are available in multiple configurations depending on speed, complexity, and application requirements.
| Model/Series | Application | Typical Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Single-Axis PTP Series |
For picking and placing from one fixed position to another fixed position, where the motion profile at the pick head is a spline curve without vertical trajectory at pick or place points |
Placing a leaflet onto a stack |
|
Two-Axis Delta Robot
TD2 Series |
For picking and placing from one fixed position, where the motion profile at the pick head has a vertical trajectory at pick or place points |
Placing products into a carton or case |
|
Three-Axis Delta Robot
TD3 Series |
For picking and placing from moving positions where the motion profile at the pick head moves in x,y and z-axis. For example, loading flow packs into an infeed of a Cartoner or Flow wrappers |
Picking and placing products using Vision guidance |
|
Four-Axis Delta Robot
TD3R Series |
A version of the TD3 Series, three-axis Delta Robot but where the product must also be rotated or turned during the pick cycle. |
Transferring a product through 90 degrees during the pick and place cycle or placing it into a smaller pitch from the pick position |
|
Six -Axis Robot TP6 Series |
Tekpak can integrate OEM Palletisers as part of a complete packaging line, including Design of the full packaging line, Programming of the Palletising Cell and Safety Hardware integration. |
Packing Cases onto Pallets for a Complete End of Line Packaging Solution |
