Multi-configuration bottle gripper
Adaptive jaw and cavity geometry that accommodates different bottle diameters and heights without swapping tools.

The problem
End-of-line packing was manual and had to cope with several bottle sizes and box configurations, which made throughput and consistency hard to hold.
What I designed
Box-nesting mechanism
Mechanisms that guide bottles into precise, damage-free positions inside the box.
Conveyor indexing and sensing
Sensor-based bottle detection synchronised with conveyor indexing so the robot always picks from a known position.
Cycle sequencing
Optimised the pick, place and box-handling sequence to raise throughput and cut manual handling.
Outcome
A single cell integrating conveyor indexing, sensing and robotic packing that handles every bottle variant without tooling changeover.
