Flex Feeding Systems
The Importance of Flex Feeders in Manufacturing
The Importance of Flex Feeders in ManufacturingModern factories must adapt quickly to stay competitive. Flex feedersserve as a vital link in this process. Specifically, they supply a wide range of parts or packages to vision-guided robots. Each feeder size distributes materials from a bulk supply source efficiently.
These systems can utilize a simple loop style. In this setup, the machine spreads materials out for a robot to pick. The robot then scans the field of view or picks items on the fly. Furthermore, designers can create specific patterns in the material flow. This strategy maximizes the efficiency of your robot. Consequently, your production line moves faster and encounters fewer errors.
Variety of Flex Feeders from CDS-Lipe
Variety of Flex Feeders from CDS-LipeCDS-Lipe offers a diverse lineup of equipment to meet your engineering needs. Whetheryou handle tiny components or bulky items, we have a solution.
Small Part Flex Feeders
The intelligent small part feeder is a flexible alternative to traditional bowl feeders. Moreover, it is very cost-effective. These units handle multiple parts simultaneously. Then, they distribute those parts to a vision-guided robot.
Large Part Flex Feeders
Large flex feed designs supply parts and materials to advanced robotic systems. Primarily, these feeders depend on integrated bulk part supplies. We design part flow patterns to maximize pick yield efficiency. Additionally, our designs ensure minimum material recirculation. This focus saves time and reduces wear on your equipment.
CDS LIPE has a complete line of Flexible Feeders designed to supply a wide range of part, package or materials to vision guided robots. Each size flex feeder is designed to distribute parts from a bulk supply source. Flexible feeding systems can be simple loop style where parts, packages or materials are spread out for robot to pick field of view or on the fly. Flex Feeders can also be designed to create patterns in the part, package or material flow to maximize the robots efficiency.
