This automation solution replaces manual reel tape packaging processes by integrating the AIM FlexiBowl (flexible parts feeder) with Epson SCARA robots.

AIM helps people focus on higher-value tasks by perfectly solving the simple, repetitive labor often avoided in manufacturing environments. This system addresses labor shortages and boosts manufacturing competitiveness by providing a solution capable of tireless, precise, and infinite repetition through robotic technology.

Components

Robot
  • Robot: EPSON SCARA Robot (LS Series)

    • Optimized for high-speed, high-precision pick-and-place tasks.

    • Adaptability: Depending on specific work conditions, the system can be configured with robots from other leading brands such as ABB, Staubli, Fanuc, or UR (Universal Robots).

  • Feeder: AIM FlexiBowl

    • A versatile feeding system that handles parts of various shapes without the need for custom mechanical vibration bowls.

Workflow

STEP 1.
Parts Feeding: Bulk components are supplied onto the FlexiBowl surface.
STEP 2.
Vibration & Flipping: The FlexiBowl uses vibration to spread the parts and flip those that are oriented incorrectly.
STEP 3.
Vision Recognition: An integrated vision system identifies the precise coordinates and orientation of each part.
STEP 4.
Robot Transfer: The Epson SCARA robot picks the identified parts and transfers them precisely into the reel tape pockets.
