Pick & place robots
12 August 2014
This year’s PPMA show will see Pacepacker Services showcase a wide range of pick and place solutions. Six different pick and place systems demonstrating the three main technologies – robotic (articulated arm, delta and Cartesian), electro/pneumatic Cartesian and bespoke styles - will show innovative ways to handle a variety of unpackaged and packaged FMCG goods.

As well as Pacepacker’s own equipment, robot technology from FANUC and Festo will be on show. From entry-level economical systems to complex bespoke automation solutions, visitors will have the chance to compare and contrast all three robot technologies side-by-side.
With 20 different end-effector tools to choose from in vacuum, gripper, magnet or clamshell style, attendees will see the robots effectively handle the most delicate of products with repeatable accuracy, at speeds of up to 180 packs per minute. Stand C50, Hall 5
