Process Overview

This solution assembles automotive harness components using a vibratory feeder combined with an Epson C4L robot and a vision system.

Bulk-fed parts are separated by the vibratory feeder, and the separated parts are located through vision for picking. By quickly separating, detecting, and picking parts in line with production speed, productivity can be improved.
