- Significantly reduces the time required for system design, supports a wide variety of products, and contributes to shortening switching time.-
Epson Sales Co., Ltd. We will start accepting orders for the feeder "IF series" from September 29, 2021. This product can be used as a parts feeding system by combining it with an Epson robot or image processing system.September 29, 2021 In order to handle a wide variety of precision and small parts (screws, washers, semiconductor elements, etc.) in the manufacturing process of electronic/electrical products, automobiles, etc., parts have been stored individually in the past. Bowl feeders were commonly used, but there were issues such as securing space, time required for setup, and installation and operation costs.
In the "parts feeding system" including the newly released parts feeder "IF series", the operation of accurately picking up the necessary parts from a state where parts are mixed in one tray is integrated with one piece of software. made it possible to manage This can significantly reduce the time required for system design.
In addition, since the amplitude, time and timing of tray vibration can be precisely controlled, it is possible to support parts of a wide range of materials and shapes
, contributing to support for a wide variety of products and shortening of changeover time. To do.
[Price and order start date]
■Single parts feeding option supports a wide variety of parts
Image processing system By detecting the position of the parts, there is no need to prepare separate feeders for each part.
· Less costly than a bowl feeder.
・Suitable for multi-product production.
■ Easy setting and programming of the program development software "EPSON RC+7.0" greatly reduces development time
The development environment is integrated and managed by the program development software "EPSON RC+7.0" robots, high-performance feeders, image processing and programming can be developed with one software.
· Shortened setup time: No separate settings or programming required for each device.
・One-stop service: By introducing the parts feeder and image processing system together
When a problem occurs, there is no need to contact multiple manufacturers individually, and it is possible to solve it in a short time.
■Automatic calibration linked to robots and image processing systems
Based on robot and image processing information, optimal conditions for efficient transportation can be set automatically.
・Reduced setup time: Parts feeder calibration is completed with a simple operation of selecting a pick-up area. Since the conditions are automatically calculated, work can be done in a short time.
■ Automatic control of optimal distribution and movement of parts
Using an image processing system and a parts feeder, the parts are separated so that the robot can efficiently acquire (pick) them.
· Efficiency of production: Based on the results of image processing, automatically determine and execute the distribution and movement of parts, the timing and number of times, and the supply timing of parts.
