PICK and Place Robots 
High-speed pick and place robots take product from one location to another with pinpoint accuracy. Human pick and place applications can require repetitive motion over a long duration resulting in possible ergonomic issues. High-speed pick and place robots can provide increased efficiency as well as decreased production costs and ergonomic issues. 

 

How Pick and Place Robots work: 
High-speed pick and place robots can be mounted on a stand to allow the robots to access their entire working envelope. Product will enter the robotic work envelope after its orientation has been identified by an upstream vision system. Using a custom end of arm tool, the product will be picked and placed by the robot at the desired location. Product can pass/fail inspection based on customer defined specifications for length, straightness, shape, etc.

Benefits of Pick and Place Robots: 

• Automates to processes that involve fast-moving conveyor 

• Provides extremely high-speed output 

• Eliminates fixtures therefore reducing cost 

• 2D vision is flexible and easy to adapt 

• Improved productivity and product quality 

​

Applications for Pick and Place Robots: 
Bastian Solutions utilizes a creative concept and design process to ensure we implement the most appropriate tool for your application. 
Common applications include: 

• Fast Assembly — robots can pick parts from incoming conveyor and assemble them onto work pieces carried by an outgoing conveyor with high precision. 

• Inspection and Quality Control — robot visually inspects and picks out defective products moving on a fast conveyor. 

• Fast Packaging — vision spots products spread out on moving conveyor and then the robot transfers them into packaging containers at high speed. 

• Fast Sortation — robot instantaneously picks and separates different types of parts passing through its vision domain. 

​

Pick and Place Robot Specifications: 

• Throughput can reach up to 200 products per minute 

• Vision can identify 100 or more products on the moving conveyor per second 

• High picking accuracy and tool compensation can bring placement error down to 0 mm 

• Vision sensor and accessories are stationary-mounted • Robotic system interfaces with PC or PLC
