Challenge

  • To feed two components that are geometrically very different on one machine so that they can be pressed together making solenoid valve actuators
  • Always have a part available for the robot so as not to stop the assembly
    process.

Solution

  • An Asycube 240 feeding system and EYE+ smart control system with dual
    feeding option.
  • One robot with a multi tool gripper.

Advantages

  • Very compact solution thanks to the dual feeding option
  • A step towards mass customization thanks to industry 4.0.
  • The machine can be redeployed when new models become available.
  • Cycle times are met.
  • Independent management of the two hoppers for an optimal feeding of the two components.

"Asyril’s proposed solution perfectly meets our need for high precision in the detection and feeding of small parts and their insertion to the hundredth of a millimeter."

Sébastien Matthey, Manufacturing engineer at Norgren
