Delta Robot Pick and Place

The Nexus Delta Pick and Place System handles primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging tasks across a packaging line.

How it works

A delta robot pick and place system uses a fast overhead parallel-arm robot to pick products and place them in a target position. End-effectors and grippers suit the product being handled, and the system can run at high speed with repeatable placement.

Key features

Precision handling: Picks and places primary packaging materials such as bottles, flow wrappers, bags, and pouches at rapid speed with high repeatability.
Three-arm configuration: Handles secondary packaging components like boxes, cartons, and trays, with simultaneous pick and place actions to optimise throughput and reduce cycle times.
Versatile adaptability: Customisable end-effectors and grippers suit tertiary packaging tasks including bottle unscrambling, bottle into carton, and bag into carton operations, as well as bulk containers, pallets, and shipping crates.

Advantages

Efficiency: Supports continuous production flow across primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging.
Versatility: Covers handling needs from primary packaging materials to tertiary packaging units.
Product quality: Precise placement reduces errors and minimises product damage during handling.
Cost: Optimises resource utilisation and minimises downtime.

Frequently asked questions

What packaging tasks can a delta robot pick and place system handle?

The Nexus Delta Pick and Place System handles primary, secondary and tertiary packaging tasks across a packaging line. This covers primary materials such as bottles, flow wrappers, bags and pouches, secondary components like boxes, cartons and trays, and tertiary tasks including bulk containers, pallets and shipping crates.

How does a delta robot pick and place system work?

It uses a fast overhead parallel-arm robot to pick products and place them in a target position with high repeatability. End-effectors and grippers are matched to the product being handled, so the system can run at high speed while keeping placement accurate.

Can the system be adapted to different products?

Yes. Nexus Australia supplies customisable end-effectors and grippers to suit the product and task, including bottle unscrambling, bottle into carton and bag into carton operations. This adaptability lets one system cover handling needs from primary packaging materials through to tertiary packaging units.

Is a delta robot the same as a cobot?

No. The delta system is a fast overhead parallel-arm robot built for high-speed, repeatable pick and place, which is a different configuration from a collaborative robot. Speak with Nexus Australia about which approach suits your line and throughput needs.
