Range of Robotic Pick and Place Systems

Tekpak specialises in Robotic Pick and Place systems, particularly those with a high degree of complexity or requirement to integrate with OEM systems.

Model/Series	Application	Typical Example
Single-Axis PTP Series	For picking and placing from one fixed position to another fixed position, where the motion profile at the pick head is a spline curve without vertical trajectory at pick or place points	Placing a leaflet onto a stack
Two-Axis Delta Robot TD2 Series	For picking and placing from one fixed position, where the motion profile at the pick head has a vertical trajectory at pick or place points	Placing products into a carton or case
Three-Axis Delta Robot TD3 Series	For picking and placing from moving positions where the motion profile at the pick head moves in x,y and z-axis. For example, loading flow packs into an infeed of a Cartoner or Flow wrappers	Picking and placing products using Vision guidance
Four-Axis Delta Robot TD3R Series	A version of the TD3 Series, three-axis Delta Robot but where the product must also be rotated or turned during the pick cycle.	Transferring a product through 90 degrees during the pick and place cycle or placing it into a smaller pitch from the pick position
Six -Axis Robot TP6 Series	Tekpak can integrate OEM Palletisers as part of a complete packaging line, including Design of the full packaging line, Programming of the Palletising Cell and Safety Hardware integration.	Packing Cases onto Pallets for a Complete End of Line Packaging Solution
