Pick and Place with the igus Delta

Reliable Pick-and-Place with Delta Robots: Handling Dissimilar Components

Pick-and-place applications are common in manufacturing, but handling components with varying shapes adds complexity. This customer test demonstrates how Delta robots, combined with a camera system and an adaptive gripper, can reliably manage dissimilar components. By accurately identifying the position and orientation of each part, the solution ensures fast and precise handling, even in dynamic environments like conveyor-based workflows.

What is the Application?

The system automates pick-and-place tasks for components with irregular shapes. The camera system identifies and locates the parts, while the Delta robot uses the gripper unit to position them accurately.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• High Flexibility: Handles components of varying shapes and sizes.

• Increased Efficiency: Fast cycle times drive higher productivity.

• Enhanced Reliability: Consistent handling reduces errors and rework.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

Delta robots offer unmatched speed and precision:

• Rapid Movements: Ensures short cycle times for high output.

• Accurate Placement: Integrates seamlessly with camera systems for precise handling.

• Compact Design: Fits efficiently within tight production spaces.

Optimizing Production with Adaptive Robotics
