Epson Robots has launched its IntelliFlex Feeding System, powered by Epson Robots’ IntelliFlex Software and Vision Guide.
Epson says the IntelliFlex Feeding System delivers a “simplistic and affordable feeding solution” to accommodate a wide variety of parts for advanced applications in medical, consumer, automotive, electronics and more.
Available in June, 2019, it was showcased at the recent Automate Show.
The IntelliFlex Feeding System offers a smart alternative to feeders available in the market today.
This revolutionary system eliminates costly, time-consuming retooling and allows manufacturers to work with a wide variety of parts without purchasing new equipment.
Integrated with Epson RC+ Development Software, the IntelliFlex Feeding System offers easy setup and configuration from one environment.
Its point-and-click interface helps reduce the typical development time required for advanced applications.
Smart auto-tuning automatically adjusts the IntelliFlex Feeding System for new parts, giving you a flexible, cost-efficient, future-proof parts singulation solution.
Gregg Brunnick, director of product management for Epson Robots, says: “The IntelliFlex Feeding System meets a growing need for high mix low volume parts singulation.
“The integration of Epson robots, feeder and vision system into a single development environment dramatically reduces development time, providing manufacturers operational efficiency with quick part changeovers.”
