It handles polybagged apparel and accessories up to 5 lb, reads UPC, LPN and RFID, and sorts up to 400 units per hour per station, letting each associate handle up to 650 units per hour. The standard gripper combines suction and actuating fingers. The unit stands 7.5 ft tall, 11.5 ft wide and weighs about 1,500 lb, and needs compressed air at 100 to 150 psi.
