Pick and Place Module with a Delta Robot

One notable advantage of delta robots is their compact size, allowing for easy placement in confined space. Furthermore, their speed and precision operate well with rapid and high-volume productions. There are two types of delta robot applications, depending on the picking system:

  • Individual picking, which has five excel applications, resulting in the allocation of the product in a vertical positions.
  • Multiple picking, which can grasp and transport more than one unit at a time to the box.
