Asyril Flexible Feed - Greater Speed

This post brought to you by Asyril.

APPLICATION NOTE

The combination of the flexible feeder asycube and structured plates (grooves, holes, etc.) offers a significant increase in the speed of palettisation.

FLEXIBLE FEEDING 

Traditionally, feeding components into automation machines is very often carried out by bowl feeders, for which the changeover from one batch to another is generally long and tedious. Recently, thanks to advances in the field of computer vision, flexible feeding systems have appeared on the market. The principle is simple: components are delivered and distributed over a surface in the field of vision of a camera. The camera takes a picture, locates the components and gives this information to a manipulator, which picks them up. Asyril has successfully introduced the Asycube flexible feeding solution to the market. The patented technology uses vibrations in 3 dimensions, which allow optimal distribution of the components on the picking surface.

FASTER WITH STRUCTURED SURFACES

The system has been designed to enable the picking surface to be changed very quickly. This feature enables the surface, if necessary, to be structured differently for each component to be picked up. By making holes or grooves on the surface and inducing an intelligently chosen vibration sequence, for example, the components can be preoriented. Long objects can, for example, be introduced vertically into holes, resulting in a high level of availability of components that are ready to be picked up by the robot, and allowing more time for the assembly operation. This characteristic is essentially due to the smoothness and gentleness of the vibrations that can be induced by the asycube. Traditional flexible feeding systems do not offer this feature.

BENEFITS FOR THE CUSTOMER

• A large number of different components can be fed from the same system
• Very fast changeover
• No blocking caused by components getting stuck in the mechanics selector
• A large number of components available thanks to a structured plate
