Digital feeding systems

Our digital feeding systems are the feeding technology of tomorrow and unique in the world. With the help of AI and 3D Geometric Deep Learning, we are able to generate a digital twin of the feeding system and simulate it before building the system. In addition, the AI searches and compares workpiece geometries in our database and thus helps us to find the right solution more quickly.

Before production starts, the sorting solutions we design can be tested, checked and approved by the simulation. This makes these feeding systems 100% reproducible. Even before the concept is drawn up, we can see whether a workpiece can be fed and you can be sure that the solution will work. Many of our FlexType feeding systems are already digitised and can be offered for your application.

The feeding system is equipped with a sorting track (material-specific tooling), which can be milled or printed. The toolings can thus be produced within a few days after simulation of the bulk material behaviour and changed within a few minutes. The optimal geometry of each individual tooling is calculated through a multiphysics simulation and with the help of 3D Deep Learning AI technology. This guarantees congruence between the technical simulation of the feeding process and the actual behaviour of the assembly parts in practice. The transfer of the bulk material to the linear line is thus completely trouble-free. The new digital possibilities of RNA are also used in conventional feeding technology.

The advantages summarised for you:

  • CNC-milled or 3D-printed for full reproducibility
  • AI (Artificial Intelligence) for maximum efficiency
  • 3D (Geometric) Deep Learning for the development of sorting lines
  • digital pre-testing through simulation of the feeding system
  • tooling (sorting track) can be produced in the shortest possible time after simulation
  • digital twin for one hundred percent reproducibility
  • flexible changeover to a new material to be conveyed in two minutes
  • feeding of different parts of a part family
  • high-performance feeding systems

Step feeders

Schliessen

FlexType ST

Our step feeders in the FlexType ST series are ideally suited for workpieces with low sorting characteristics - easy to convert and with adjustable speeds, they are offered as a service-friendly complete solution and are available in two sizes. The workpieces are conveyed upwards from the hopper sump by means of counter-rotating lifting plates and thus reach the desired transfer height without the need for any further conveyor technology. The workpieces are already pre-sorted by the upward transport and the shape of the lifting plates. In addition, the lifting plates can be equipped with clamping protection if required.

A built-in quick-change system of the linear sorting track, which distinguishes the FlexType ST, allows tool-free changeover, both for part families and for workpieces of different types. The RNA step feeders are available in two different sizes. A stationary hopper is integrated in each size. The low filling height allows manual filling. For larger quantities of workpieces, we supply upstream vibratory or belt hoppers of any size. The hopper volume and consequently the maximum filling weight, the number of steps and the step depth can be selected for each size. Components

We offer our customers complete solutions, but also supply all system components for their own adaptation and the integration of sorting equipment. The step feeder operates almost noiselessly and vibration-free without workpieces. High piece outputs even with the smallest sorting features characterise this system.
Fast delivery times, due to standardised components, a quick emptying system, as well as an integrated hopper can round off the system.

Step width (mm): 220 or 320
Step depth (mm): 15/20/25/30
Strokes/min: 10 to 45

Robotic feeding systems

Schliessen

FlexType R

Everything from a single source: FlexType R

With our innovative FlexType R feeding systems, we have combined the advantages of feeding technology and robotics.

Technology that can do even more:

  • Do your workpieces tend to jam? (not accumulative)
  • Do you want to process families of parts?
  • Do your workpieces have complex geometry?

Convertible and economical:

  • Do your products have a short market life and are subject to change?
  • Do you manufacture small batch sizes?

 

FlexType R is available on the basis of vibration platforms (FlexCube) or linear feeding systems and is particularly suitable for complex workpiece geometries or parts that cannot be accumulated. FlexType R offers a high feeding rate (workpieces in a position that can be picked up) and thus ensures maximum utilisation of the robot's cycle performance and thus high economic efficiency.

FlexType P

The FlexType P is characterised by the integrated, pre-configured and pre-assembled vibration platform.
Targeted movements in the x, y and z directions can be programmed on the vibration platform. As a result, the workpieces are moved while taking into account their condition, in such a way that a high number of parts are prepared for tapping. Compared to uncontrolled vibration platforms, higher feed rates are thus achieved. The free programming of the part throw even allows elongated parts to be set up or chambers mounted directly on the platform to be filled. The final commissioning with a robot is up to our customer.

RNA also offers double systems based on a modular system as shown, with two platforms for independent parallel operation. Equipment with hopper, quick emptying and part return for short changeover times are optionally available. Combination with various robot and control systems or gantry handling is possible.
