Bradman Lake - Flexi Picker

• Picking and placing individual products onto conveyors or into trays.
• Loading products into flow wrappers or cartoners.
• Sorting items by type or quality on a production line.
• Handling delicate or irregularly shaped food items without damage.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 60 to over 120 picks per minute per robot, depending on product size and complexity of motion.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a three-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for the motor and control systems.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary based on the number of robots and the conveyor system integration, but a single picker cell typically requires a floor area of at least 1.5m x 1.5m.

Payload capacity

Individual robot arm payload capacity for flexi pickers is generally in the range of 0.5kg to 3kg, suitable for most individual food items.

Materials handled

These systems are designed to handle a wide variety of products, including baked goods, confectionery, fresh produce, and packaged items.

Integration

Flexi pickers are typically designed for seamless integration with existing upstream and downstream packaging machinery.

• What kind of products can a Flexi Picker handle?

  Flexi pickers are versatile and can handle a wide range of products, particularly those requiring precise placement or delicate handling, such as biscuits, chocolates, pastries, and small packaged goods.

• Is specialist programming required to change product types?

• What maintenance is typically involved with a robotic handling system?

• Can this system be integrated with existing production lines?

• What are the benefits of using a Flexi Picker over manual handling?

Robotic handling systems in lab and pharma settings are generally well-regarded for improving throughput and consistency. Buyers typically value their precision, reduced contamination risk, and ability to handle repetitive tasks reliably. When purchasing used equipment, buyers commonly assess mechanical wear, software compatibility with existing systems, and maintenance history. Key strengths include long operational lifespans and relatively straightforward integration into established workflows, though compatibility assessment remains essential.
