automaticbulkparts

The anyfeed SX240 is a flexible bulk parts feeder with an integrated bulk storage bin that can hold components of arbitrary shapes and materials. When combined with flexfactory’s vision solution or and your robot of choice, the anyfeed SX240 becomes a highly versatile robot feeding system that offers solutions for a wide range of application requirements. Controlled by the vision system, the anyfeed SXM50 uses its servo-electric drives to move the components into positions that can be easily picked by the robot. The anyfeed SXM line of feeders is based on a feeding method patented by flexfactory that does not require high maintenance conveyor belts or expensive recirculating systems. The ‘first-in-first-out’ principle of the anyfeed SX240 is an efficient and reliable handling method that ensures parts spend as little time as possible in the feeding system, waiting to be picked. • Wide variety of parts – handles parts of arbitrary shapes, sizes and materials • Maximum availability – parts don’t get jammed, no operator intervention • Gentle parts handling – minimal stress for parts as no recirculation occurs • Automatic emptying – minimal changeover times during product changeovers • Simple installation – compact unit with all controls integrated • Optimized feeding action – quick-change feeder plates for perfect part feeding and identification • Simple layouting – the feeder’s narrow rectangular footprint is ideal for compact cell layouts • Simplified service – all the anyfeed models in the SXM/SX range use the same servomotors • Standardized communication – all the anyfeed models in the SXM/SX range understand the same commands
