Developed and designed by Schubert based on the Scara principle, the four-axis F4 pick & place robot has proven itself over decades in many hundreds of picker lines worldwide. Its arm can accelerate at 10 G and reach speeds of up to 4.7 metres per second. Like all Schubert robots, it has interchangeable tools that make it exceptionally flexible: With the individually designed grippers or suckers, it can pick up any conceivable product and place it gently into a tray, chain or onto a single belt. The F4 robot is particularly well suited to wide or very wide product belts due to its large working area transverse to the running direction of the belt. This is especially true for pick & place machines that only require a tray or carton conveyor on one side.
Originating from Schubert's innovative design, the T4 and its counterpart, the T5 robots, are inspired by the renowned Delta robot configuration. However, they stand apart in the market due to their unique kinematics. Their distinct rectangular working envelope is tailored for high-efficiency operations in limited spaces. In a single TLM frame, as many as six T4 four-axis robots can operate concurrently, enhancing output within a more compact area. This design not only boosts output over shorter distances but also allows for more flexible machine layouts, leading to more space-efficient pick & place machinery. Similar to other robots in Schubert's lineup, the T4 is typically deployed in teams and can be scaled according to project needs. With the diverse capabilities of the F4 and T4/T5 robot types, Schubert is well-equipped to deliver tailor-made solutions for a variety of customer-specific applications.
