Dis­cov­er why pick and place robots pro­vide the best answer to mate­r­i­al han­dling challenges.

1. Accu­ra­cy: Pick and Place Robots are out­fit­ted with wide reach­es and slim arms, steady repeata­bil­i­ty and pre­cise tool­ing — all of which allows them to be extreme­ly accu­rate. This high pre­ci­sion capa­bil­i­ty makes them a good match for pick and place applications.

2. Flex­i­bil­i­ty: One of the main advan­tages of robot­ics is flex­i­bil­i­ty. Pick and place robots are eas­i­ly pro­gram­ma­ble. They are able to accom­mo­date mul­ti­ple changes in prod­uct shape and type. In addi­tion, robots pro­vide a high lev­el of move­ment flexibility.

3. Increase Con­sis­ten­cy: Pick and place robot sys­tems have the abil­i­ty to improve prod­uct qual­i­ty and cycle time. Robot­ic move­ments are reg­u­lat­ed, so the results are always the same. Qual­i­ty is improved because of this reg­u­lar­i­ty. Fur­ther­more, this con­sis­ten­cy allows the process­es to take place.

4. Space Effi­cien­cy: Designed with com­pact bases, pick and place robots are ide­al if you are look­ing to con­serve floor space. Robots can be pro­grammed to move with­in strict work enve­lope lim­its — lead­ing to even bet­ter use of space.

5. Safe­ty Max­i­miza­tion: Pick and place appli­ca­tions can be phys­i­cal­ly demand­ing. They are labor-inten­sive, repet­i­tive, and monot­o­nous. Depend­ing on the weight and size of a part, mov­ing it from one place to anoth­er can be very demand­ing work. Pick and place robots are unaf­fect­ed by the stress­es of the appli­ca­tion. They are able to work with­out tak­ing breaks or mak­ing mistakes.

6. Cost Sav­ings: Incor­po­rat­ing pick and place robots can effec­tive­ly cut your costs. Robot­ic pre­ci­sion and reli­a­bil­i­ty allow for less wast­ed mate­r­i­al and more effi­cient use of time. Plus, the ini­tial invest­ment in robots is quick­ly recouped — mak­ing pick and place robots an extreme­ly cost-effec­tive solution.

In addi­tion to all of these ben­e­fits, Pick and Place robots do a ter­rif­ic job of man­ag­ing hard-to-han­dle parts. There is noth­ing too small, too large, or too awk­ward for a pick and place! Pick and place robots offer the per­fect grip­per and EOAT option for the job you need.
