Shibaura Machine and Flexibowl Automated Pick and Place Solution from RARUK Automation

At RARUK Automation we specialise in providing automation solutions that can be flexibly combined to provide application-specific automated solutions.

Here we have FlexiBowl® parts feeder and Shibaura Machine SCARA robot working in unison where they are feeding, picking and placing.

FlexiBowl is an innovative flexible parts feeder that is compatible with any robot and vision system. A single FlexiBowl can handle entire families of parts within the range of 1-250mm and 1-250g. The system’s lack of dedicated tooling and its easy-to-use, intuitive programming allow product changeovers in a matter of seconds.

The high-speed, high-cycle SCARA robots were designed to mimic the action of a human arm to automate assembly or loading and unloading tasks with speed and precision. The idea is to get all the benefit of a human employee at a higher speed and without fatigue. SCARA robots are ideal for industrial operations such as food processing, pharmaceutical or electronics manufacturing and automotive assembly applications where effective and fast pick and place functionality is essential. Components can be picked, placed, moved, packed and unpacked with ease by a robot that keeps its factory floor footprint to a minimum.
