On \u201cend of line\u201d systems, parts are almost always picked and placed into trays, thermoformed containers or boxes of various types. <br \/>Cobots integrate part ordering on a surface or on multiple levels. It is sufficient to use their teach function to register the 4 corners of the box and enter the number of rows, columns and levels. The robot then automatically creates a place program. Depending on the application, one can choose from a variety of robotic arms and grippers.
