Precise Can Picking with igus Delta Robot and Apiro Pre-Positioning

Efficiency in Motion: The igus 3-Axis Delta Robot and Apiro Gear System

The igus 3-axis delta robot, paired with Schmalz's vacuum suction technology, demonstrates precise and efficient handling in material placement tasks. The robot picks cans from a conveyor belt and positions them onto a pre-defined rubber surface with can-shaped recesses. Complementing this setup is the integrated Apiro gear system from igus, which, via motor control, directs cans to one of two designated positions on the conveyor belt, ensuring seamless collaboration between the conveyor and robotic picking system.

What is the Application?

This robotic solution is designed for automated handling and placement tasks, particularly in environments requiring high-speed accuracy, such as packaging or sorting. The combination of the igus delta robot and Apiro gear system ensures precise picking and placement of items from the conveyor, enhancing efficiency in industrial workflows.
