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? +
Once the configuration is set, we estimate the schedule during the deployment review and let you know. We handle installation and commissioning in one visit.
Which robot brands do you support? +
The depth of integration varies by robot. Most robots receive pick coordinates from us; for Hyundai Robotics and Agilebot, the robot program itself is handled from our screen.
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? +
Part size depends on the equipment mix and the lighting and lens setup — we check with your actual part samples first. So far we've handled parts from 0.01 mm thin film to 125 mm medical components.
What happens on a recipe changeover? +
Selecting one recipe applies the vision, robot and feeder conditions together.
How do you verify coordinate calibration accuracy? +
Calibration accuracy is not a promised figure but a value the software shows. At the result step of AimFactoryCore's checkerboard-based calibration, the average, minimum and maximum error are displayed in mm.
What is the demo test procedure? +
1) Submit part samples → 2) Test and analysis → 3) Solution proposal → 4) On-site demo. Once the configuration is set, we confirm the schedule during the deployment review.
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 is a system that supplies parts of many different shapes from a single unit, using a vibrating plate and vision recognition to align and pick them automatically.
How does recipe changeover work? +
Selecting one recipe applies the vision, robot and feeder conditions together. The AIVE series is designed so that part changes and corrections run from pre-set recipes.
Which robots are flexible feeders compatible with? +
We provide standard communication guides for global robot brands such as Hyundai, ABB, Yaskawa and Epson. For Hyundai Robotics and Agilebot, the robot program itself is handled from our screen.
How does a flexible feeder differ from a conventional vibratory bowl feeder? +
A bowl feeder needs dedicated tooling, whereas a flexible feeder separates and aligns parts flexibly with vision and vibration patterns.
How long does it take to install an AIM flexible feeder? +
Once the configuration is set, we estimate the schedule during the deployment review and let you know. We handle installation and commissioning in one visit, and provide remote diagnostics and automatic calibration.
