What a pick & place robot does

A pick-and-place robot moves products from one place to another — from a conveyor into trays, between machines, or into packaging.

Speed and part size decide between a delta, SCARA or 6-axis robot.

How to choose a pick & place robot

Delta robot for light products at more than about 60 picks per minute
SCARA for fast, precise vertical picks of small parts
6-axis robot or cobot for heavier parts or orientation changes

Equipment around the robot

Vacuum or finger gripper
Camera with conveyor tracking for random positions
Infeed and outfeed conveyors

Frequently asked questions

What is the fastest pick and place robot?

Delta (parallel) robots are the fastest for light products, often well above 100 picks per minute; SCARA robots are next for small parts.

Can a robot pick from a moving conveyor?

Yes. A camera finds each part and an encoder tracks the belt so the robot picks on the move without stopping the line.
