IFS: The New Dimension of Feeding Technology

The Intelligent Feeding System (IFS) represents the next generation of automated feeding technology. The innovative combination of image processing and robotics opens up entirely new possibilities in component handling.

Technological Innovation

A high-resolution camera system captures the position and orientation of components on a vibration plate. The integrated KUKA Agilus robot with special double gripper enables precise pickup and transfer of parts with minimal cycle times.

Application Areas of IFS Technology

The advanced feeding technology of the IFS is particularly suitable for:

 

  • Complex bushing geometries
  • Various shaft types
  • Thread inserts of different sizes
  • Precision screws and fastening elements

 

Application Example: Integrated Feeding Technology

The performance of state-of-the-art feeding technology is exemplified in the automated loading of injection molding tools:

 

  1. Singulation of components through optimized vibratory bowls
  2. Precise positioning by articulated robots
  3. Exact placement in the tool
  4. Continuous process monitoring
