Pick & Place Unit PPU-P

With up to 95 cycles per minute, the PPU-P is the fastest pneumatic Pick & Place Unit on the market. In contrast to conventional pneumatic Pick & Place Units, the horizontal and vertical motion of the robust PPU-P unit overlap, and are positively driven via a curved roller, which reduces cycle times by one-third. At e.g. a 145 mm horizontal stroke, 45 mm (20 mm linear) vertical stroke and 1 kg moving mass, the smaller unit achieves a cycle time of 0.63 s including 2 x 50 ms gripping time. Thanks to the control unit, the gripper can be placed directly over the individual target position, and is actuated through our standard control interface. This feature can positively influence two of a production line‘s key performance factors: cycle time and process reliability.

In order to balance build-up tolerances, the horizontal stroke can be adjusted by up to 12 mm (18 mm) per side. Moreover, both end positions can be adjusted by 15 mm (20 mm), independent from each other. Differences in height between the pick and place position can be balanced wit hout an intermediate stop.
