The "FR Parts Feeder" is a vibrating parts feeder that uses special rubber material. Originally developed based on a request to transport powder parts before sintering without chipping and quietly, it has recently been inquired about as an alternative to robot vision systems. The features of the product are as follows: ■ Examples of issues - Looking for a method to achieve stable picking without relying on expensive vision systems - Unstable work supply causing production lines to stall - Unable to find a system that can automatically supply irregularly shaped or lightweight workpieces ■ Solutions - Achieves stable supply without the need for vision using a vibrating parts feeder - Smoothly advances the production line with high cycle times - Compatible with irregularly shaped workpieces, usable across a wide range of industries ■ Reasons for selection - A system that enables cost reductions of millions - Easy installation and smooth integration with existing equipment - Reliable support system backed by extensive experience and technical expertise

The "FR Series" is a vibration parts feeder made using special rubber materials. Originally developed based on a request to transport powder parts before sintering without chipping and quietly, it has recently been inquired about as an alternative to robot vision systems. ■ Recommended for: - Those looking for a stable picking method but find that expensive vision systems do not provide a good cost-performance ratio. - Those whose supply of workpieces with vision systems is unstable, causing production lines to be frequently interrupted due to minor stoppages. - Those concerned about chipping, cracking, or damage to coatings with standard feeders. - Those unable to find a system that can automatically supply irregularly shaped or lightweight workpieces. ■ Reasons for selection: - A system that enables cost reductions of several million. - Easy installation and smooth integration with existing equipment. - A reliable support system backed by extensive experience and technical expertise. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

This product is a robotic supply system designed for the supply process of "thin, curved, and easily tangled workpieces," which has previously relied on manual labor. As a representative achievement, there is a case where the supply process of eyeglass temples (long, curved metal parts) to a press machine has been automated. In conventional methods: - Bowl feeders and bulk picking cannot resolve tangling issues. - Other companies' vibration stations cannot grasp workpieces that are too low in height. - Side walls interfere, preventing the robot from approaching or causing it to stop. For these reasons, automation has been abandoned in all cases. In our method, by using a unique spreading stage made of rubber, the robot's claws can sink in, creating a stable gripping condition even for low-height workpieces. Additionally, due to the absence of side walls, there is no interference with the robot. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
