Asyril Asycube 380

The Asyril Asycube 380 is a flexible parts feeder (flex feeder) for robot cells. Parts are placed on a vibration platform that moves in three axes, which spreads them evenly over the surface and flips and repositions them. A vision system scans the platform and tells the robot which parts are in a pickable position; when too few parts are pickable, the platform vibrates again to present new ones.

The Asycube 380 is intended for parts with a size of 15 – 60 mm. Larger parts are handled with a bigger platform and a hopper option.

The feeder is controlled over Ethernet (TCP/IP and Modbus TCP), with optional fieldbus gateways (EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET, CC-Link) and optional robot plugins for brands including Universal Robots, FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa and Stäubli. It is configured with Asycube Studio or EYE+ Studio software and runs on 24 VDC. LED backlighting in several colours and various platform types (flat, with holes, grooves or nests) are available as options.

Typical applications

• Feeding small and medium parts to pick-and-place robots
• Assembly cells with changing part types
• Replacing bowl feeders and custom tooling
