Pick and place with small gantry robot

Automating Manual Pick-and-Place with igus Gantry and Schmalz Cobot Pump

For industries working with pneumatic cylinders, solenoid valves, and accessories, automating repetitive tasks like pick-and-place is critical for improving productivity and efficiency. In this customer simulation, an igus gantry system equipped with a Schmalz Cobot pump replaces manual handling. The setup achieves up to 12 picks/min, with a repeat accuracy of 0.8 mm and a payload capacity of 2.5 kg on the gantry. The Cobot pump generates a vacuum of up to -600 bar, enabling secure handling of small parts up to 3 kg, making it ideal for precise automated processes.
