Gantry Robot Replaces Delta-style

When space constraints made it difficult to use the top-mounted delta-style robot that Nuspark was accustomed to, the firm opted for a compact gantry-style robot in its tray packer.

A high-speed linear gantry replaced the delta-style robot commonly used by Nuspark in tray-loading applications like these.

Nuspark is a well-established builder of custom case/tray packers and palletizers for a wide variety of customers. For tray-loading solutions, the firm typically uses a top-mounted delta-style robot for the pick-and-place function that is central to any tray-loading application.

But recently a customer needed a tray loader and had minimal space into which the system had to fit. So Nuspark substituted an EXCT-100 T-Gantry system from Festo in place of the delta-style approach.

“We emphasize a respect for our customer’s real estate—every machine is one of a kind, depending on the restrictions and constraints that our customers have,” says Boris Motskin, Nuspark General Manager. “In this case, they gave us the amount of space available and we took it from there.”
