Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most during deployment and operation, organized by category so you can find the essentials fast.
All FAQs
How long does installation take? +
On average, installation and commissioning can be completed within 4 hours.
Which robot brands do you support? +
We integrate with 22+ robot brands — Hyundai, ABB, FANUC, YASKAWA, EPSON and more — via standard interfaces.
Can you test our parts? +
Yes. We test with your actual part samples and propose the optimal solution. Request it from the contact page.
What part size range is supported? +
Roughly 0.5–150 mm depending on configuration.
What is the recipe changeover time? +
About 10 minutes for AIVE; about 30 seconds for an AimFactoryCore recipe (varies by configuration/conditions).
Under what conditions is ±0.05 mm matching guaranteed? +
Through AimFactoryCore's checkerboard-based calibration workflow, we provide ±0.05–0.1 mm matching in standard industrial environments (excluding distortion correction).
What is the demo test procedure? +
1) Submit part samples → 2) Test and analysis → 3) Propose the optimal solution → 4) On-site demo. It takes about 1–2 weeks on average.
Flexible feeding FAQs
Common questions about deploying and operating flexible feeders, in one place. Related details are in the flexible feeding solution overview.
What is a flexible feeder? +
A flexible feeder spreads bulk parts on a surface and, combined with vision, supplies them to a robot in a stable pick position — handling many part types on one machine without dedicated tooling.
How is it different from a bowl feeder? +
Conventional bowl feeders require dedicated tooling per part. A flexible feeder switches between parts via software recipes, making it ideal for high-mix, low-volume production.
Which parts are hard to feed? +
Thin sheets, rubber, springs, and terminals are difficult for conventional feeders. AIM handles them by combining vibration/rotary feeding with vision-based selection.
Can it integrate with our existing line? +
Yes. Vision, robot, and PLC integration lets the feeder fit into existing lines, operated together under one recipe.
