On a tray loading cell the pick count drives the tool, not the payload. How multi-pick arrays are sized, why pitch matching constrains the design, and why more cups does not mean more holding force.
Application story: the Wedgelock, a 3D printed tool free adjustment guide for conveyor rails and sensor positioning, with squeeze and slide operation, lockable open position for multi point changeovers, and sensor specific customization.
Application story: cam activated bottle grippers and a bottle sleeve, designed and SLS printed by Anubis 3D, whose light weight allowed an alcohol bottling machine to achieve higher speed.
Application story: a 3D printed quick connect cam lock that turned a semi permanent automotive door nest into a 30 second changeover, proven with a leading Japanese automaker and evaluated for global use.
Application story: a 3D printed vacuum gripper with three independently retracting arms for vision guided picking of randomly placed conveyor products, with independent air flow per arm and integrated vacuum channels.
Application story: a machined carton extracting tool converted to 3D printed Nylon 12 for a packaging equipment OEM, delivered in 3 days at a price equivalent to the machined part, with added air channels and no setup fees.
