Robotic Pick-and-Place Systems for Food Handling
In modern food production, robotic pick-and-place systems are essential for efficiently moving delicate products like baked goods, confections, dairy, or meats between processing, packaging, and inspection stages. These systems must balance speed with sanitation and precision with product care.
Handle Gently. Move Precisely. Automate Safely.
Helix Linear Technologies manufactures lead screws, linear actuators, and motion assemblies engineered to support robotic handling in hygienic environments. Our components enable smooth, low-vibration motion that reduces product damage and ensures accurate placement, whether transferring cookies to trays or aligning cheese blocks for cutting.
Designed for washdown compatibility and customizable to your application, Helix motion solutions help food automation OEMs and system integrators build agile, compliant pick-and-place equipment.
Key Benefits:
- Gentle, controlled motion ideal for fragile or soft food products
- High-precision actuation supports accurate sorting and placement
- Built with corrosion-resistant materials for hygienic use
- Configurable travel, force, and speed for custom robotic cells
Helix delivers the motion behind smarter food handling where cleanliness, care, and consistency come standard.
