METHOD

The RPP3-1 is a modular and compact robotic pick and place solution. It can be integrated at different points within the packaging process to perform various tasks. It features Syntegon‘s proven feeding belt system, which can be adjusted to almost any process. Belts are available in two executions: performance or hygiene.

A high-resolution vision system detects the position and orientation of each incoming product and provides this data to the robot control. Optional quality checks, such as product verification, integrity, size or color, are available.

Depending on the type of End-of-Arm tool, RPP is capable to perform multi-pick, reflex-pick, grouping, pre-stacking, product orientation and tilting functions.

RPP‘s open control platform manages vision control and Delta robots on one IPC infeed. This ensures a full integration via ethernet, exchanging precise real-time data on position, machine status and safety. The robots and the packaging machines become an integrated, seamless system.

RPP3-1 can either work in co-flow or counterflow configurations, allowing for maximum layout flexibility on a compact footprint.

EXPERTISE

In addition to stand-alone pick and place solutions, Syntegon integrates Delta robot technology into the existing portfolio of machines to further enhance their application capabilities. The RPP platform is Syntegon‘s next generation of pick and place robotics. It is based on decades of experience in integrating robots into the packaging process.
