Using vacuum cups or mechanical grippers, a Bosch delta robot can be created to suit nearly any application. Two forms of pick and place robots are available from Bosch. One of which is a Top Loader, the other is a Feed Placer. In Top Load applications, the product is picked from an incoming flow and placed in a case, carton, or tray. Feed Placers pick product from an incoming flow and place it directly into your wrapper infeed, thermoformer infeed, bucket chain conveyor, or nearly any form of a flighted or pitched conveyor.
The Paloma-D2 pick-and-place robot aligns and places product into cartons, cases or trays. Its stainless steel construction meets many current hygiene standards and regulations for food handling. Fast production changeovers of less than 5 minutes are made possible with the new Gemini 3.0 software and tool-free changeable form sets.
Facts:
- Stainless steel construction is standard
- Meets many current hygiene standards and regulations for food processing
- Quickly clean with ingress protection rating of IP65 up to 1.5M high and splash proof area of IP54 above 1.5M
- Available with 1, 2 or 3 arms, the Paloma D2 picks products at speeds up to 290 products per minute

Flexpicker
Flexpicker is a high speed parallel arm picking and placing robot supplied by ABB. FlexLink integrates the robot into applications requiring that products be picked to be placed or packed according to a specific pattern. The FlexLink products include conveyors, supports and control system.
Using its vision tecnology, the system is accurate in that it only selects perfect objects. If, for example, a cookie, a piece of chocolate or a pill is defect the robot will ignore it.
Flexpicker readily handles 150 picks per minute, corresponding to a cycle time of 0.4 seconds.
The IRB 340 robot used is also available in a stainless steel version, making it ideal for for operations requiring extra clean environments. This robot is highly suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical, medical and electronics applications. The IRB 340 is certified for clean-room applications, clean-room class between 2 and 3 after DIN EN ISO 14644 part 1 + 2.
Pick and place units
Using standard elements, FlexLink can supply a wide range of pick & place units, for handling everything from small lightweight goods such as plastic bottles, up to heavier applications in the automotive industry. Loads up to 50 kg are possible.

The new Ishida Packing System (IPS) offers fast, accurate but gentle packing of trays weighing up to 2.5kg into cases and Eurocrates.
Using high-speed delta robotics, its handling of individual trays is so fast that pre-collation is unnecessary. Individual tray-handling gives absolute freedom in choosing the number of packs per layer and per case, and the arrangement of packs in any layer.
- Reduced labour costs
- High speed (up to 150 trays/minute), high efficiency
- Simplified infeed (no collation) and crate handling
- Enhanced flexibility in crate layout and contents
- Uncomplicated set up, operation and changeovers
- Built-in collision avoidance protects products and equipment
- Available in single and twin robot configurations.
- Simple, robust, hygienic design: waterproof (IP65) up to 1.2 metres above ground

What does it do?
- Our Swing Machine has the ability to pack bags AND cartons in stand-up AND lay-down configurations on the SAME machine!
How does it work?
- horizontal configuration (applies to standard swing machine only):
Product is collated into a group using one of our custom collation methods. The product is then picked by a specially designed end-effector. The fully servo-driven robot ensures smooth placement into the secondary container.
- vertical configuration:Begins with collation and the picking of the product just as the lay-down configuration. Instead of loading directly into the secondary container, the product is placed flat into an intermediary cassette. Cases are tipped towards the cassette and the entire stack is side-loaded into the secondary container.
How productive is it?
- The top loader can pack up to 300 bags per minute when using our Smart-Trak™ collation and up to 400 bags per minute when using our Smart-Bin™ collation system. Even higher speeds can be reached with rigid containers.
How is the changeover?
- End-effectors can be changed out within 30 seconds using a simple clamping mechanism. Most settings can be created from the operator panel and saved as unique product codes. The robotic motion is also easily changed and saved as unique product codes.

Principal Features
Autoload Flexibility
- Design can handle a nearly infinite number of packaging applications.
- Product infeed modules are configurable and can be mounted on either side of the robot to ensure the most efficient flow of materials and use of floor space.
- The high payload capacity allows a large variety of products to be handled.
Intelligence
- The FANUC M420i robot is fitted with end-of-arm-tooling tailored to handle any type of product.
- Using the control platform of the FANUC robot to drive auxiliary axes reduces parts and increases commonality of components.
- The robot and conveyors can be easily reconfigured to handle new and upcoming products without further capital investment making the LRC-400i the ultimate flexible asset.
Applications
- Flow-wrapped products, regular or irregular in shape.
- Trays (eg. ready meals, frozen foods).
- Bag in box (eg. cereal).
- Bottles, jars, tubes, vials.
- Thermoforms
- Stand-up pouches, sachets, pillow-style pouches.
- Speciality items:
- Hardware.
- Personal care products.
- Multicount formats.
- Blister packs.
- Squeeze tubes.
- Light bulbs.
- Consumer durables.

Robotized packaging line for food products.
This robotized production line picks pastry shells from a conveyor belt and places them inside blisters at a rate of 300 products per minute.
The 3 "pick & place" cells are equipped with an ABB FlexPicker IRB 340 delta robot and 2 cameras used for:
* locating products on the inlet conveyor, in order to allow the robot to pick them via "conveyor tracking",
* verifying the pastry shell conformity, among the 70 possible shapes,
* verifying the shell shape quality,
* locating and verifying conformity and orientation of the arriving blisters.

All CAMA loading units can be combined in complete packaging lines, with different upstream and downstream packaging machines, or integrated with other machine modules for erecting, closing or lidding of different packs such as RSC cases, trays, display boxes etc.
Main technical advantages of the Cama loading units are:
Manufacturing flexibility
All CAMA models are composed of a main common frame on which various product and package handling systems are positioned. The requirements of different projects can be thus met with the possibility of converting and/or modifying the units in future to facilitate different utilisation.
24/ Seven
Cama machines are designed and build for 24-hours operation, seven days a week.
User-friendly
- The robot is positioned on a high level frame, allowing full accessibility and vision on all four sides and satisfying all layout requirements with the minimum possible footprint;
- Clean design, with the location of electrical cables and pneumatic pipes inside the frame structure, which are easily accessible by means of suitable openings;
- Advanced and user friendly operator's panel, from where all different functional parameters as well as the robot trajectory can be adjusted, modified and set.
Hygienic
Low product retention, thanks to the frame design of the units dust, dirt and any product debris does not remain in the system but drops on the floor for easy cleaning during production itself (essential feature for stainless steel IP65 wash-down executions).

This machine loads automatically non-uniform or packed products in:
- a horizontal flow-wrapper
- a cartoner
- a thermoformer
- a tray, a crate
- a carton or a pre-formed carton…
A vision system can be added providing changeover flexibility and also controls the quality.
