MIKRON POLYFEED™ A solution for complex geometry components & multiple variants

MIKRON POLYFEED™ A STANDARD FLEXIBLE FEEDING SOLUTION With this third generation of Polyfeed, Mikron offers a flexible feeding system based on a unique patented vibration system coupled with industrial machine vision recognition and a 4-axis cartesian robot to feed virtually any part of various forms and dimensions. The Polyfeed is a perfect fit for Mikron’s high performance assembly systems. Available in two versions, you can count on it for flexibility, short delivery time, reusability and speed. The Polyfeed will be best used in applications where classical bulk feeding systems find limitations:...

COMPONENT FEEDING IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN PRODUCT ASSEMBLY. WHEN FACING DIFFICULT PARTS TO BE FED OR MULTIPLE VARIANTS, MIKRON HAS THE SOLUTION : POLYFEED

FROM CHAOS TO ORDER IN 5 STEPS 1. Two different parts can be loaded in bulk into the buffer 2. Parts drop by vibration from buffer onto a selection plate 3. The selection plate is vibrated at specific frequencies and amplitudes to agitate the components. 4. A vision system inspects the components on the selection plate and identifies which are laying in a position suitable for being picked. The coordinates are sent to the 4-axis robot. 5. The robot picks all identified components placing them in the proper orientation to a part nest. Operations are repeated alternately on two selection plates...

POSSIBLE CONFIGURATIONS The Polyfeed Standalone can be integrated to an assembly line in two ways : - Picked components are placed or assembled directly onto the assembly pallet that is indexed within the Polyfeed. - Picked components are placed onto indexed pucks travelling on Mikron link system, which transfers the components to a station within the assembly cell for loading to the pallet. COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE PICKED WITH A POLYFEED A single Polyfeed can handle multiple variants of a component or feed components with complex geometry Multiple variants Multiple variants Multiple variants Multiple...
