How to Locate Trays for Automation Report

Thermoformed trays used in automated handling systems need to locate consistently and repeatably. This report explains how tray geometry and locating features can be designed to support reliable robotic handling.

Report Includes:

  • Why flange location can introduce variability
  • Locating trays from formed geometry
  • Designing formed locating features
  • Using chamfered pins for repeatable alignment
  • Cavity-to-cavity positioning for automation
  • Designing around robotic gripper requirements
