Schubert Transmodul TLM
About the Schubert TLM System
The Schubert Transmodul Line Machine (TLM) is a modular robotic top-loading packaging system from Gerhard Schubert GmbH, one of the world leaders in robotic pick-and-place and cartoning solutions. The TLM architecture uses standardised F4 robotic modules that can be combined to create custom packaging lines for virtually any product and pack format.
System Architecture
A TLM system consists of F2 (2-axis), F3 (3-axis), and F4 (4-axis) robotic submodules, each with their own integrated control system, communicating via the Schubert Vision system for product detection, orientation, and gripping. Lines can be reconfigured physically and mechanically — changing format requires replacing a submodule rather than rebuilding the line. This modularity reduces format change time to under 30 minutes for most products.
Performance
Throughput depends on product and pack format, with typical speeds of 300–800 picks per minute across a multi-module line. Vision-guided gripping achieves ±1mm placement accuracy across all pack formats. The system handles fragile, flexible, and irregular products that defeat conventional fixed-automation approaches — including biscuits, chocolate products, fresh bakery, and medical devices.
Who Buys the Schubert TLM?
Major FMCG manufacturers across confectionery, bakery, dairy, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics sectors. Schubert systems are installed at Nestlé, Mondelez, Lindt, Bahlsen, and numerous Tier-1 food and pharma manufacturers globally. The TLM is typically chosen where format flexibility and gentle handling are critical and fixed automation cannot justify the ROI.

Transmodul TLM — throughput target exceeded by 15%
The Schubert Transmodul TLM runs our primary packing line at 180 packs/min with <0.05% reject rate on seal integrity. Changeover between our three main SKU formats takes 12 minutes — down from 45 minutes on our old machine. CIP cycle completes in under 30 minutes and we have had zero HACCP non-conformances since installation. The integrated vision system has already caught three label misalignment events that would have reached retail.
