Silicone (4×6 mm) part tray auto-feeding
AIVE flexible feeder + RoboEYE vision integration
Results 0% defects · 0% downtime · 30–40 ea/min · replaces 6 operators (day/night) · existing trays reused
🧭 Background
- Transparent silicone (4×6 mm) has high elasticity/surface tension, making it impossible to feed with a bowl feeder.
- Groove orientation is hard to judge, so front/back sorting and flipping is difficult.
- It was handled by operators pressing each part into tray cells by hand → fatigue and quality risk.
🧠 AIM solution
1) AIVE flexible feeder
- Implemented a stretch & flip sequence to fully spread and flip elastic parts.
- Optimized amplitude/frequency/pattern to minimize overlap and tangling.
2) RoboEYE vision calibration
- Groove-orientation recognition + precise coordinate correction (±0.05 mm).
- Computed a precise insertion path for the tray’s tight tolerances.
3) Robot & tray integration
- Reused the existing tight tray as-is.
- A dual-tray carrier enables non-stop continuous production.
🎯 Results
- ✅ 0% defects, 0% downtime
- ✅ 30–40 ea/min throughput
- ✅ Fully replaced 6 operators (day/night)
- ✅ Applied without any tray mold/spec change
