Five axes on a delta sounds excessive until the product is a chocolate bar that must land face-up at 15 degrees in a vacuum-formed tray. The Codian D5-650-S020-R100 pairs the D5 five-axis parallel kinematics with a fitted R100 rotation wrist - 7 Nm, with washdown RH100 and 19 Nm R200 variants available - so orientation is part of the pick cycle rather than a second station downstream.

What does the fifth axis change on a food line?

Everything that used to be rework. Product arrives misaligned on the infeed belt; the delta picks, adjusts attitude and places into trays, packs or carriers at up to 150 picks per minute across a 650 x 270 mm work area, with 0.1 mm repeatability and a 1.5 kg payload sized for packaged food. The same open-mechanics model as the Codian D2 range applies: mechanics without a locked controller, ready for any platform or for B&R Machine-Centric Robotics where delta and machine motion synchronize.

Why order the R100 suffix?

Because rotation options change the build, not the bolt pattern: the D5 family shares calibration tooling, vacuum pipes with secondary arms, hose clamps and cable routing across variants, so a line that standardizes on Codian mechanics swaps payload class, reach and wrist torque without re-engineering the cell. Washdown duty takes the RH100 IP-rated wrist, higher torque takes R200 - the S020-R100 designation simply fixes the recipe the plant validated.
