A delta robot is a type of parallel robot that consists of three arms connected to universal joints at the base. Industries take advantage of these robots in packaging and pick and place operations due to its high accuracy and fastness. This three degrees of freedom robot is used in the process that automates the tea filter bags packing process through pick and place operation. Electrostatic gripper has been used as the end effectors. The tea filter bags are allowed to go through the conveyor and this delta configured robot is used for pick and place operation. This robot reduces the time complexity of the laborers and it also helps in increasing productivity by reducing the cost. Thus the tedious process becomes simpler through the delta configuration. Comparative analysis of the performance of robot with manual process is also shown in the results.
