Flexible feeder
Supply many part types from one machine
A flexible feeder that replaces parts feeders and bowl feeders. Vibration, aligned, and rotary types feed and vision-align 0.5–250 mm parts, all operated by AimFactoryCore alongside vision and the robot via recipes.
Lineup
Three feeders
Choose by part size, geometry, and precision. All are controlled by AimFactoryCore.
Vibration flexible feeder

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
- · 5-minute model switch by recipe
- · Vision alignment — flexible to shape changes
- · No dedicated re-tooling
