We pick up where conventional
feeding technology leaves off
For more than 30 years, we have been your Everything in one place – from the idea
partner for individual feeding solutions with through to a complete feeding solution:
camera technology. • Advice
As a result, we are not only the oldest but • Planning
also the most experienced provider for high- • Layout
performance sorting, feeding and allocation • Mechanics
tasks.
• Electronics
• Software
• After-sales support
 ROBO-POTSYSTEM:

Our arguments
• Minimum effort for the interfaces
• Also prepared for future feeding tasks
• Short set-up times, high machine availability
• Low susceptibility to failure
• Quick rectification of faults
• High process reliability. No faults and damage.
Downstream machines always get correct parts
• Low integration and operating effort
• Minimal maintenance and servicing effort
• High security of investment

Automotive • Cosmetics • Electrical engineering •

The aim is efficiency

Your benefits
• Everything in one place with just one contact person
• Flexible, open feeding system. Suitable for
a variety of components and a wide range of parts
• Low, and sometimes no tooling effort
• The least possible mechanical manipulation
• Automatic interference suppression functions
• Components are feed with sorting accuracy
and in the correct position
• Easy to set up and operate
• Robust. Suitable for rough, industrial day-to-day
life, self-cleaning functions
• Long product life cycles. Decades long spare parts
supply

Dental • Packaging technology • Mechanical engineering

 Operator panel 4.0
For parameter assignment and visualisation
• 3.5 inch touch screen, separate buttons for start and stop
• Ingeniously simple operation
• Mobile: up to 10 m cable from the computer to the
operator panel
• Operating display with counter, live view,
output per minute and status reporting
• 3 user levels with password protection
• A variety of languages can be selected, continuous
development of additional language packages

Camera system 4.0

The line scan camera recognises the contour,
the „silhouette“ of the component, „slice by slice“
• There are three line scan camera sizes available depending
on the spectrum of components
• Equipped with an automatic cleaning nozzle and installed
on a carriage for quick cleaning

Vibration
control unit
VIB control 04
Computer 4.0 For controlling the vibrating drive
• Electronic control, dependent on the
The computer evaluates the recognisable image and, loading status of the bowl
using this data, controls all of the subsequent processes • Up to 70% lower power consumption
in the feeding system. For example: blow-back, removal, by the drive
turning, occasional buffering, dispensing…
• With a link to the computer.
• Disk space for up to 120 components The appropriate settings for the control
• Digital I/Os and Profibus/Profinet unit are saved for each component
are available for connection
to the machine peripherals

All components with

protection type IP67
The ROBO-POTSYSTEM: We put your
parts on the right track

The ROBO-POTSYSTEM transports

parts made from metal, sinter, plastic,
rubber and ceramic which can be
moved in a vibratory parts feeder
Conveyor body 4.0
For transporting the components in front of the camera
• With nozzles for blowing unusable components
back into the bowl and removing incorrect components
• The ingenious construction allows the belt
to be changed quickly and easily
• Frequency controlled, enclosed drive with tacho generator
• Adjustable mounting of the LED backlight for
optimal lighting
• Individual design consistent with the task
• Belt runback with automatic interference
suppression function

Your own bowl construction

For pre-orientating and aligning components
• Standard sizes or individually produced
• A wide variety of finishes suitable for the application
• Quick emptying function, manual or pneumatic
• Also available with changeable straightening chicanes as required

 And there‘s

Additional sensors
• For the recognition of features which cannot be seen in
the lateral silhouette: imprints, blind holes, embossing…
• Equipped with lasers, colour sensors, image sensors,
image processing systems…

Isolation
chambers
• One part each for buffering, holding ready
and clocked output
• Used if parts nest and cannot be piled up one
behind another and a buffer of available
parts is needed

Turning station
• For turning incorrectly oriented parts
• For increasing the production rate, for adjusting incorrect
positioning, as a measure for conserving components.
Component is turned instead of blown back into the bowl

Handling assemblies
at the end of the conveyor
Lateral pusher for Revolving holding Tipper, Delivery nests,
pushing 90° across device for vertical deliver vertically in deliver individually
from the conveyor delivery hose or pipe or repeatedly

Separating
filter
For dividing components between
up to four outlet conveyors
still more...

Accumulation sections
• For queuing multiple components behind one another,
accumulating, creating a pushing strand
• As a linear vibration section or accumulating conveyor

Separator
„Flip flop“
• For isolating parts out
of the accumulation

Stocking
Hopper for increasing the autonomous
running time and reducing the fill level
in the vibratory parts feeder
• With belt or vibration drive
Standard hopper
• Ascending conveyor hopper
• Storage table
