Part Feeding Requirements and Challenges Adept Solution Large global install base of flexible feeding systems
Adept’s Focus for Flexible Feeding Feeder - Vision - Robot  Coordination “The vision-guided robot is the key element in this type of system. It’s principal function is the acquisition, orientation, and placement of parts to a target matrix or assembly fixture.” - Bud Ross, RPM Flex Feeders
Why Adept for Part Feeding Applications? High-throughput: Seamless integration of AnyFeeder, Robots, and ACE software for Vision-guided flexible feeding solution Flexibility: Feed bulk parts of various shapes, colors, textures, and materials with fast product changeovers Repeatability: Part feeding jobs demand high consistency and Adept offers portfolio of robots with high repeatability Precision: Cost of poor quality is high and robots need to work with high accuracy; Adept portfolio is designed for high precision jobs Foot print efficiency: Adept system provides a high foot print efficiency maximizing the work envelope Safety: Part feeding jobs can be hazardous. Adept adheres to all the safety regulations to ensure the safety of operators
Flexible Feeding Components
Expectation vs. Reality “Flexible parts feeding is a lot like education spending. Most folks want only the best schools and the best teachers for their children. But, when it comes time to pay the piper, the enthusiasm quickly evaporates.” - John Sprovieri,   Senior Editor, Assembly Magazine
Major Components Method of presenting parts (AnyFeeder) Method to locate and recognize parts (Vision) Method of picking and placing parts (Robot) Method of programming the feeding solution (Software) + + + ACE AdeptSight Adept AnyFeed Adept Robot Application Software
Adept AnyFeeder “The Adept AnyFeederis a compact, programmable part feeder to separate and flip parts without the use of conveyor-belts or recirculation“ Abilities: Variety of parts Part changeovers quickly and easily Process multiple parts simultaneously
Integrated bulk part feeder Stainless steel design Driven by 2 brushlessservo motors Quick change  feed surfaces Backlight drawer Parallel or serial communication Key Features: Adept AnyFeeder Anti-static or textured feed surfaces  Fast feed and flip with excellent control due to servos Internal vibration damping
Benefits of Adept AnyFeeder Adept ACE™ software to deploy your applications through a user-friendly interface High flexibility for production runs with high mix of parts and short productions cycles Brushless servo-drives and conveyor-less design feed parts without part jams Integrated backlight option for advanced vision guidance capabilities The feed surface option enables feeding parts with different sizes, colors, or shapes Feeds a variety of parts with no fixturingrequirement
Vision-Guidance Integration AdeptSight™ is intelligent software designed to perform vision guidance and inspection applications through a single interface Single point of control for vision-guidance applications Wizard-based user-friendly interface to calibrate and teach the robots Supports “vision-on-the-fly”  High-speed and high-quality inspection of parts 	      with tight tolerances
