Add to comparison

ABB's Pneumatic feeder FlexFeeder is an innovative module designed for industrial robots to implement various applications such as sorting and assembly. It is highly versatile and compatible with either the IRC5 robot controller or any PLC controller, making it a great choice for automated production environments. One of its standout features is its ability, in combination with ABB's Integrated Vision, to sort a wide array of components ranging from 3 mm to 30 mm without having to change the feeder for each component.

The FlexFeeder comes in two variants, single and double, each with a compact design to save on installation space and shorten cycle times. Additionally, the small internal gap design and integrated backlight options increase the flexibility in feeding various small parts. The larger unit of the double variant increases the working time between refills, and two or more feeders can work
side-by-side, eliminating the need for separate vision systems.

Driven by pneumatic cylinders, the FlexFeeder takes parts from an unordered bulk supply and dispenses them in small quantities onto the flat pick surface in the field of view of the vision system. The maintenance-free friction plates guide the cylinders, making it robust but silent. Ground and rack mounting methods simplify the installation procedure, and handles make the moving and lifting much easier.

The FlexFeeder is smart, with sensors that can detect and signal when the tank needs to be refilled. The tank can be purged without power, and changing parts can be done easily and safely. The GUI makes it possible to test the FlexFeeder with one click and to monitor the production status. In summary, the FlexFeeder is an efficient, flexible, and easy-to-use option for small parts feeding that meets the demands of electronics manufacturing for flexibility, reliability, and speed.
