Pick and Place Robots
Central Conveyors offers cutting-edge pick and place robotic solutions designed to transform your manufacturing and logistics operations.
Our robotic systems excel at repetitive tasks requiring precision, consistency, and reliability—enabling your business to increase productivity whilst reducing operational costs.
What Are Pick and Place Robots?
Pick-and-place robots are automated systems specifically designed to retrieve objects from one location and precisely position them in another. These versatile robots form the backbone of many modern manufacturing and logistics processes, ranging from simple component transfers to complex assembly operations.
Our pick and place robotic solutions can be configured with various end-of-arm tooling options to suit different applications, including:
-
Multiple tool changes
-
Assembly
-
Packaging
-
Bin picking
-
Precision placement
-
Quality inspection
Types of Pick and Place Robots
Articulated Robots (5 and 6-Axis)
Offering exceptional flexibility, our 5- and 6-axis robotic arms provide the most versatile pick-and-place solutions. The 5-axis configuration excels at simplistic single-plane transfers, whilst our advanced 6-axis robots can handle complex movements across multiple planes and orientations. These can be further enhanced with gantry or linear tracks for larger applications typically used in automotive and manufacturing sectors.
SCARA Robots
Specialised for fast, precise horizontal movements, SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robots are ideal for high-speed assembly lines and rapid pick-and-place operations where cycle time is critical.
Delta Robots
Our high-speed delta robots excel at rapid, repetitive movements. Their parallel link structure allows for exceptional speed and precision, making them perfect for packaging applications where multiple robots can work in synchronisation to achieve demanding throughput targets.
Collaborative Robots
The expanding world of collaborative robots offers safe, transportable automated picking that can work alongside human operators without the need for safety barriers. These robots combine flexibility with ease of deployment, making automation accessible even for smaller operations.

Advanced Technologies
Vision Systems
Integration of 2D and 3D vision technology enhances our robotic systems by identifying the orientation and position of parts along conveyor sections, allowing the robot to make intelligent decisions for accurate picking and placing.
End-of-Arm Tooling
We offer bespoke gripper solutions designed for specific applications:
-
Electric Grippers: Precise control for handling diverse objects
-
