PHOENIX Robotics Lifting Column
The PHOENIX Robotics lifting column extends the movement range of cobots with a precise vertical axis. It offers maximum stability, easy integration, and high flexibility for collaborative robot applications.
The PHR lifting column is a modular, vertically movable lifting system consisting of three telescopic profile columns. These enable linear height adjustment of assemblies or loads in industrial applications, preferably for cobot robots.

Features & Benefits
PHOENIX Robotics – The lifting column for smart cobot applications
The customer was looking for a solution to make material flow in packaging more efficient.
The challenge was to automatically transport packages of different sizes from one station to the next without manual intervention. An operator packs the package, places it down, and sends a signal with the push of a button.
The cobot moves into position on a linear axis, while the Phoenix Robotics lifting column handles the vertical movement. A 3D camera system detects the package size and adjusts the gripper arm accordingly. After picking up the package, it transports it to the next station. If the detected object does not match the expected part, an integrated pattern recognition system identifies this and adjusts the process accordingly.
By using the lifting column, a cost-effective solution was implemented without major mechanical changes to the conveyor system. The lifting column performs the lift that a large robot arm could also achieve, but this option was not feasible due to the narrow conveyor layout.
