The challenge

  • Additional unnecessary handling of medical grade components increases the risk of contamination and foreign bodies.
  • Assembly and handling of components without human contact.

The solution

  • Two Asycube 380 are used for feeding up to four part types within a six second cycle time for final part assembly.
  • A six-axis Fanuc robot and a camera to identify picking points complete the application.

The initial application has since evolved requiring an additional three pairs of product. This highlights the main advantage of a flexible feeding system, the system can be easily adapted as the product or production process changes.

Advantages

  • Parts always available to pick
  • Robot Plugin for seamless integration
  • Easy to set-up and teach recipes
  • Adapts for changing customer requirements

"After evaluating several flexible feeding solutions on the market, the Asycube from Asyril proved to be the most reliable and robust solution."
