FX SERIE SMART PICK & PACK
The FX series from rbc robotics features modular, modern, and very compact cells that offer maximum efficiency.
FX Smart Pick is a standard solution for the reliable unloading of randomly arranged components. The 3D scanner recognizes the parts, enables collision-free removal, and uses different gripping systems
FX Smart Pack enables the orderly loading of different workpieces on intermediate piles in different bin size.
The cells are largely constructed from sheet metal with safety glass on the front. The resulting modules are encapsulated, which not only reduces noise emissions, but also keeps the products clean.
We also effectively reduce the impact of stray light, which is especially important for image recognition systems.
The cells enable the use of different types of workpieces, be it in organized layers or disarrayed bulk materials.
We differentiate the individual series according to container size.
The cells can accommodate containers or wire baskets on floor trolleys with a basic size of 400 x 600 mm as well as pallets with stacking frames, boxes with 600 x 800 mm or Euro pallets and mesh baskets with 800 x 1,200 mm in size.
A 3D camera or scanner reads the position of the workpieces, allowing the system to remove them at an 8-second interval and place them onto a tray or conveyor belt located next to the cell.
Compact and very agile robots from ABB or KUKA are used. For an even more compact design and to keep the footprint of the cells to a minimum, we use seven robot axes in our modules in some cases.

The bin picking cell is a standard solution for the reliable and efficient unloading of workpieces from defined piles or randomly arranged bulk goods. It is designed for bins with a size of 600 x 800 mm and a height of up to 600 mm. An integrated 3D scanner recognizes the components and the edge of the bins, enables a safe cycle time from approx. 8 seconds, and uses magnetic or finger grippers.
The bin picking cell has a two-chamber system that allows bins to be changed during the cycle, which means the robot does not have to wait. As a result, the process becomes more efficient. For larger bins, the XL bin picking cell with dimensions of up to 1000 x 1200 mm and a height of up to 1000 mm offers a solution.
Compact and agile robots from ABB or KUKA are used, sometimes with an additional robot axis in order to take up as little space as possible. The cells are mainly made of sheet metal construction with a safety glass front, thus creating closed modules that reduce noise emissions and meet the cleanliness requirements.
The bin picking solutions from rbc robotics intelligently combine robotics, gripping technology, and component detection. The cell is compact, easy to operate, and has data interfaces for field and higher-level systems. The modular cabin can be transported by forklift or crane.
The cell is highly standardized and has been in continuous industrial operation (ring pickers) for years. A turning station with fine detection of the smallest geometric characteristics is available.
A user-friendly, shopfloor-based interface is available for teaching in new components. It does not require any special operator know-how. Various gripping modules such as pneumatic finger grippers or magnetic grippers are available. FX PICK offers automatic TCP measuring and correction for maximum reliability in continuous operation.
The bin picking solutions are ideal for flexible manufacturing processes with many different workpieces. They facilitate reliable production and support smart manufacturing to make companies more efficient, safer, and more competitive.
FX-PICK 800:
For bins measuring 600 × 800 mm and with a total height of up to 600 mm, this The FX PICK 800 bin-picking cell offers the option of reliably and quickly unloading workpieces in defined layers or bulk goods with a chaotic arrangement.
FX-PICK 1200:
For Varioboxes, pallets and mesh boxes up to a size of 1,000 × 1,200 mm and a total height of up to 1,000 mm, this XL FX PICK 1200 bin-picking cell offers the option of reliably and quickly unloading workpieces in defined layers or bulk goods with a chaotic arrangement.
The cells enable the discharge of a wide range of workpieces in defined and orderly positions. The series’ are differentiated based on the bin size.
Bins or wire baskets can be loaded on floor trolleys with a basic size of 400 x 600 mm, as well as pallets with stacking frames, boxes with 600 x 800 mm or Euro pallets and mesh baskets with 800 x 1200 mm in size.
The smart loading software automatically calculates the position of the components in the bin. Numerical entries in the operator dialog define, for example, the distance between the components and the edge of the bin as well as the gaps between the components. The palletizing pattern is then generated automatically, which means that teaching in the robot is not necessary. Singularities are avoided with the additional robot axis.
An additional module can optionally be fitted on the side of the cell to insert intermediate piles. 3D recognition can also be used if necessary, depending on the design and component geometry.
Compact and agile robots from ABB or KUKA are used. For an even more compact design and to keep the footprint of the cells to a minimum, we sometimes use seven robot axes in our modules.
The cells are largely constructed from sheet metal with safety glass on the front. The resulting encapsulated modules reduce noise emissions and meet the requirements for product cleanliness. In addition, we effectively reduce the impact of external light in order to create optimal conditions for image recognition systems
FX PACK 600 basket stacking cell
Our FX PACK 600 basket stacking cell enables workpieces to be packed reliably and flexibly in defined layers. It is suitable for bins/baskets with a size of 400 x 600 mm and a stacking height of up to 1100 mm. The integrated basket stacker (2 servo axes) moves the baskets.
FX PACK 800 bin packing cell
The FX PACK 800 bin packing cell enables workpieces to be packed in defined and orderly layers in bins measuring 600 x 800 mm and up to 600 mm in height. The loading software automatically calculates the placement points of the components in the bin. The palletizing pattern for simple geometries is generated without teaching in the robot.
FX PACK 1200 XL bin packing cell
The FX PACK 1200 XL bin packing cell enables the quick and reliable packing of workpieces in bins with a size of up to 1000 x 1200 mm and a height of up to 1000 mm. With straightforward geometries, the loading software automatically calculates the placement points of the components in the bin. Optionally, integrated 3D scanners can be used
