Robotics in marking

Flexible Handling

Robots handle positioning, handling, and marking – precise and repeatable.

Robotics & Marking

Robot-Guided Marking & Marking Cells

When components are variable, heavy, or hard to reach, traditional conveyor layouts reach their limits. Robots position TIJ printheads or products precisely – enabling flexible, compact, and future-proof marking solutions.

Flexible

Quick changeovers to new products, variants, and layouts – ideal for frequently changing orders and small batch sizes.

Precise & Compact

Exact positioning in three-dimensional space and space-saving cells instead of long conveyor sections.

Robotics

Typical Robotics Scenarios

Depending on the application, either the robot moves the printhead or positions the product correctly. In many projects, we combine robotics with vision systems and TIJ printers.

Robot-Guided Printhead

The printhead is mounted directly on the robot flange. The robot follows defined paths and prints on hard-to-reach surfaces or multiple sides of a product.

Robot Positions the Product

The component is picked up by the robot, positioned precisely in front of a stationary printing system, and then placed in a tray, carton, or on a pallet.

Marking Cell as a Module

Compact robot marking cells that can be integrated as a ready-made module into your production – including safety technology and interfaces.

Pick & Print with Vision

Cameras detect the position, orientation, and type of component. The robot picks, aligns, and brings it into the optimal printing position.

Pallet & Container Marking

Marking pallets, mesh boxes, or large containers at different positions – regardless of how the load is oriented.

Robotics & Handling

Combination of marking, handling, sorting, and palletizing – all consolidated in a single cell.

Practical Examples

Robotics shows its strengths wherever components need to be variable, heavy, or precisely positioned.

Metal
Metal & Plastic Components

Marking of housings, profiles, or milled parts with serial numbers, logos, and codes – even with changing clamping and gripping positions.

Laboratory
Medical Technology & Lab Automation

Robots handle and mark samples, trays, and diagnostic kits – often combined with vision inspection and traceability.

Robotics
Contract Manufacturing
& Outsourced Marking

Flexible robot cells for frequently changing products and orders where conventional conveyor systems would be too inflexible.

Palletizing
Palletizing & Shipping

Combination of marking, palletizing, and handover to downstream logistics or warehouse systems.

Integration, Safety & Operation

We view robots not in isolation but as part of your overall system – including safety technology, operating concepts, and interfaces.

  • Selection of suitable robot types (articulated arm, SCARA, cobot)
  • Grippers, tool changers, and fixtures for your components
  • Integration of TIJ printers and vision systems into the cell
  • Safety fences, scanners, light curtains, and enabling devices
  • Support with risk assessment and CE compliance

From Idea to Robot Cell

  1. Concept Phase – Analysis of products, cycle times, space constraints, and interfaces.
  2. Feasibility Study & Simulation – Checking possible kinematics, reachability, and motion profiles.
  3. Detailed Planning & Design – Mechanical, electrical, and control engineering development of the cell.
  4. Assembly & Commissioning – Setup, programming, test runs, and handover to your production.
  5. Training & Support – Instruction of operating and maintenance staff and ongoing operational support.
