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...

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...
