3-Axis Pick and Place – TD3-R Food

A dynamic system designed to handle diverse food products. It supports both controlled and vision-based random picking with minimal preparation. Ideal for high-throughput environments and limited space, ensuring precise and flexible handling for a range of food packaging needs.
The 3-Axis Robotic Pick & Place Cell is a versatile system designed to handle a broad range of food products with precision and speed. It is ideal for loading and stacking individual items into trays, cases, cartons, or directly into a thermoformer or flow wrapper infeed, making it suitable for a variety of food packaging applications.

The system can pick products from a controlled pick position, where items are pre-prepared, or from a random pick position using advanced vision technology to detect and locate products with minimal preparation. This flexibility allows for seamless handling of irregularly shaped products and ensures that product integrity is maintained throughout the process.

Built for food production environments, the system is perfect for high-throughput operations and is particularly effective in areas where space is limited. Its modular design ensures smooth integration into existing packaging lines, offering quick format changeovers and consistent performance for a wide variety of products such as biscuits, bakery items, flexible pouches, and flow packs.
