Die-Cut Handling for Pick & Place

P&P-DCD

Precise die-cut dispensing for stable, flexible, and easy-to-integrate automation processes.

Die-Cut Dispensing

Feed for Pick & Place Processes

Die-cut dispensers from our P&P-DCD family are a reliable and economical solution for supplying Pick & Place suction pads, for example on robots, with die-cuts. This enables fast, precise, and process-reliable application of self-adhesive die-cuts.

The devices are used, for example, for hole covering on car bodies, the precise placement of self-adhesive die-cuts for bonding processes in advanced battery assemblies.

System benefits

Benefits for your production

01

Stable material flow

Precise remaining-material information and reliable pick-up of the die-cuts ensure dependable operation.

02

Automatic tape break detection

The system detects tape breaks and supports controlled process operation.

03

Multi-dispenser mode

With the multi-dispenser mode, up to 4 die-cut pads can be supplied in parallel. This enables a higher dispensing rate and reduces cycle time.

04

Precise position detection

Precise detection of the die-cut position simplifies robot programming and supports reproducible results during changeovers.

05

Integrated controls

With integrated controls and PROFINET/Ethernet-IP interface, additional effort for integration into automated systems is reduced.

06

Space-saving integration

The system can be integrated into robot cells as part of the separating protective equipment, but does not require separating protective equipment itself and can therefore also be used as a free-standing complete machine.

07

Real-time process data

Consumption and process data can be provided via fieldbus systems for higher-level monitoring.

Configuration Example

Configured for Different Die-Cuts

P&P-DCD can be adapted to different die-cuts and process requirements - from varying diameters to demanding shapes and surfaces. Automatic centering keeps the gripping position reproducible regardless of the material, while the compact design enables space-saving integration into safety fences and robot cells.

  • Processes different die-cuts, diameters, and reflective surfaces
  • Automatic centering for simple robot programming

Proven worldwide

More than 140 P&P-DCD systems are deployed worldwide in automated production lines.

Integration

Designed for continuous operation

The P&P-DCD is designed for space-saving integration into modern automation lines. With its fully enclosed housing, integrated controls, and operation without compressed air, the system can be used directly and flexibly in your system.

Four brushless servo drives, an interface for easy and simple integration, and optimized motor performance ensure reliable, energy-efficient continuous operation with low heat dissipation. This guarantees a high-quality, standalone solution that remains serviceable in the long term and can be integrated into a line in a process-reliable manner.
