Pick and place robots for efficient product handling

Enhance your production line with high-speed pick and place robots capable of handling diverse products while maintaining superior quality control, enabling flexible packaging across various formats without compromising efficiency.

The F4, T4, and T5 pick and place robots from Schubert are engineered to optimize packaging processes across industries such as food, pharma, and cosmetics. Leveraging the SCARA and Delta configurations, these robots excel in high-speed product handling and precise placement, made possible by their advanced kinematics and interchangeable end-effectors. The F4 model, with its robust four-axis SCARA principle, is designed for extensive product positioning, operating seamlessly at speeds up to 4.7 meters per second. Alternatively, the T4 and T5 models, originating from Delta robot designs, feature unique kinematic capabilities, including a fifth axis in the T5 for intricate tasks, such as vertical placement of delicate items.

These robots cater to a range of end-products like chocolates, pharmaceuticals, and pet food sachets, ensuring gentle handling and superior packaging quality. Their integration into existing production lines is streamlined with modular and flexible design, capable of operating in confined spaces and scalable to meet diverse project needs. This adaptability is further enhanced by Schubert’s digital solutions, including self-printed 3D tools and PARTBOX digital platform for on-demand component production.

Automation is at the core, with these robots being fully PLC-controlled, allowing seamless integration and real-time monitoring. Energy efficiency is achieved through optimized motor controls, while the system’s cleaning protocols ensure minimal downtime. Schubert’s engineering support offers tailor-made solutions, from gripper designs to complete robotic systems, ensuring your specific requirements are met with precision and reliability.
