The new design allows for standard downward mounted camera plus allows for the ability to use a bottom mounted upward pointing camera. Utilizing the new capability of an upward mounted camera, a system can process parts without any concern for the robot blocking the camera FOV, which allows for uninterrupted vision processing.


Flexomation offers a full line of flexible feeders capable of feeding ultra-small parts (less than 1mm) up to parts 5" in length. All feeders have the capability to feed multiple part types with little if any change over time plus the ability to move parts forward, backward, separate and flip.

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task

In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
