FAST picker from Stäubli in new versions
With these new variants, the specialist manufacturer has extended the capability of the FAST picker’s revolutionary four-axis kinematics which can work at more than 200 picks per minute. Stäubli is targeting the HE version of the FAST picker TP80 primarily at applications in the food industry. HE stands for Humid Environment and designates Stäubli models that have been specifically modified for use in production contexts where the atmosphere is moist or in areas subject to water spray. They are the natural choice for circumstances where the strictest hygienic standards apply and for conditions in which there is a daily routine of cleaning with detergents.
With the introduction of the HE variant, the TP80 is now perfectly suited to food applications. The four-axis model with its protected design is able to withstand the rigorous cleaning procedures of the food industry. At the same time, it can be lubricated with food grade oil Class NSF H1 without any loss of performance. In this combination, the FAST Picker meets all the sophisticated requirements of customers in the food industry.

200mm Z-stroke for more flexibility
For industrial applications which involve rapid transfer and sorting processes, the TP80 was previously subject to certain restrictions due to its maximum Z-stroke of 100 millimeters. But not anymore: the FAST Picker can now be ordered with an optional 200mm jt 3 axis. The other performance data remain unaffected: the four-axis model can operate across large work spaces with a diameter of 1.6 meters and has a repeatability rate that, in everyday practice, exceeds the factory specification of ±0.05 millimeters. Thus high precision is guaranteed, even after many thousands of operating hours. Occurrences of wear and tear in continuous operation are excluded in this kinematics type with its rigid structure. In addition, all utilities and media lines are routed within the arm. The Fast Picker has been systematically honed for reliability accuracy and performance.
