Flexible feeder
Supply many part types from one machine
A flexible feeder that replaces parts feeders and bowl feeders. Vibration, aligned, and rotary types vision-align and automatically feed 0.5–250 mm parts, and AimFactoryCore controls them by recipe together with vision and the robot.
Lineup
Three feeders
Choose by part size, geometry, and precision. All are controlled by AimFactoryCore.
Vibration flexible feeder
UniFeeder
Spreads and supplies many part types with linear vibration. Feeder, hopper, and lighting controlled from one PCB.

From parts feeders & bowl feeders to flexible
Unlike a traditional parts feeder (bowl feeder) that needs a dedicated bowl or track per part, a flexible feeder switches between many parts on one machine with vision and recipes.
Traditional parts / bowl feeder
- · Dedicated bowl/track per part
- · Re-tooling on every part change
- · Shape/surface sensitive, noise & wear
- · Lead time for new parts
AIM flexible feeder
- · Many parts on one machine
- · Model changeover with a single recipe
- · Vision alignment — flexible to shape changes
- · No dedicated re-tooling
