Robotic Pick-and-Place Systems

Efficient solutions for orienting, fast sorting,
and precise placement of bulk, unsorted products on the conveyor line.

In production lines, the biggest downtime and labor costs often stem from the stage where chaotic, bulk-fed products must be sorted, correctly oriented, or packed. Smart Pick-and-Place systems and automated unscramblers completely take over this monotonous task. Utilizing high-performance delta (Flexpicker) or articulated arms, these systems ensure a continuous material flow with maximum speed and precision.

Answers to Critical Manufacturing Challenges:

How to automatically stand bottles or vials upright?

If containers (plastic bottles, jars, vials) arrive in bulk and are chaotically dumped into a hopper, a bottle unscrambler handles them mechanically or with robotic assistance. It grips them, turns them in the right direction, and feeds them onto the conveyor belt perfectly upright, preventing tipping before the filling station.

How to pack products moving randomly down the conveyor?

Using an integrated Vision System, the Pick-and-Place robot "sees" the exact position, rotation angle, and even defects of each product in real-time. The robot tracks and grips the product in motion, placing it flawlessly straight into a box or a thermoformer pocket.

How to protect fragile or easily scratchable products?

Instead of manual handling or harsh vibratory systems, specialized vacuum cups or soft grippers are used. They provide an ultra-gentle touch, which is critical for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging with glossy surfaces or delicate labels.

Where are Pick-and-Place robots most commonly integrated?

Empty container unscrambling: Automated feeding of vials, bottles, and jars directly to filling lines.
Grouping and case packing: Rapid loading of finished items (bags, bars, blisters, tubs) into shipping cases or corrugated boxes.
Asymmetric object sorting: High-precision rotation and alignment of irregularly shaped products before the next production phase.

Technological Benefits for the Manufacturer:

Elimination of human error: The robot never tires and executes every single movement with millimeter precision in a 24/7 environment.
Rapid format changeover: No tedious mechanical adjustments needed – the system switches to a different size with just a few clicks on the control panel.
Compact integration: Most robots require minimal floor space and can be easily mounted directly over existing conveyor lines.

Compatibility with Other Packaging Equipment

These robotic and unscrambling systems operate in perfect sync with other primary and secondary packaging machinery:

Cartoning and case forming monoblocs
Filling, dosing, and capping equipment
Sleeve (shrink-wrap) and self-adhesive label applicators
Case sealers (using tape or hot-melt glue)

Such integration ensures a fully automated workflow from bulk material reception straight to a completely sealed, retail-ready box.
