Integrable
Thanks to open interfaces, camera systems, grippers, and other peripheral devices can be integrated. This adds flexibility to the value chain and ensures customization options.
Customizable
Optimally matched components and modular system packages enable custom automation solutions. Low moving masses ensure extremely high accelerations with minimal energy consumption.
Clean
The standard design meets strict hygiene requirements. For demanding environments (e.g., the food industry), variants with an enclosed stainless steel housing are available.
Fast
The simplified kinematic model, combined with MOVIKIT® software modules, enables quick mounting, straightforward programming, and short project lead times.
High accelerations and short cycle times enable sustainable optimization of your processes. Robust components, high-quality materials, smooth surfaces, and high degrees of protection ensure reliable operation across a wide range of industries and applications. Complemented by the modular portfolio, these solutions create flexible, scalable, and future-proof automation solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing machines, systems, and automation concepts or can be used to achieve their extension.

Fast and precise
High speeds, short cycle times, and excellent repeatability ensure maximum performance in pick and place applications.
Dynamic and efficient
Thanks to their low moving masses, delta robots achieve high accelerations and enable energy-efficient production processes.
Smart integration
Open interfaces allow for easy integration of camera systems, grippers, and other periphery for flexible automation solutions.
Ideal for lightweight products
Perfectly suited for the packaging, food, and pharmaceutical industries, where products must be handled quickly, precisely, and gently.
Delta robots are used wherever high speed, precision, and reliability are required. They are particularly well-suited for pick and place, sorting, packaging, and handling tasks involving small to medium-sized products.
Typical applications for a delta robot include:
SEW-EURODRIVE’s delta robots are available with duopod and tripod kinematics and, depending on the design, offer two to five degrees of freedom. While duopod kinematics feature two parallel arms, tripod systems use three arms. Depending on the design, various combinations of translational and rotational degrees of freedom are available.
Translational degrees of freedom enable positioning within the work envelope. Rotational degrees of freedom expand the range of motion to include rotational movements and allow for the precise alignment of a product or tool.
All Delta robots are compatible with MOVIKIT® Robotics, ensuring fast startup, simple parameterization, and efficient open-loop control. Selected models are also available in a hygienic design and are engineered for use in sensitive production environments.
