Ultra-precise electronic-part automation

Overview

AIM provides a machine-vision-based smart feeding and pick-and-place solution for electronic-part manufacturing. The desktop demo system fully integrates RoboEYE vision, AIVE smart feeder and hopper control, and 6-axis motion (Elmo drives) to precisely handle 0.8–2 mm micro electronic parts.

Design & mechanics: Techno Hands Korea · Control & software integration: AIM Factory Automation

Problems it solves

• Misalignment and position error of tiny electronic parts
• Pick failures from unstable vibration in conventional feeders
• Long setup times from complex robot teaching and coordinate setup
• Inefficient recipe switching across many part types

How it works & configuration

• Vision: RoboEYE — coordinate registration, orientation correction, quality judgment
• Feeding: AIVE smart feeder + hopper — frequency/amplitude recipe-based automatic feeding
• Motion: 6-axis Elmo drives + linear scale + motor encoder feedback
• HMI: AIM no-code control UI — sequence building, logs, recipe management

Key features

• Micro-part handling: precise pick-and-place of 0.8–2 mm parts
• RoboEYE vision integration: real-time coordinate recognition and orientation correction
• Independent 6-axis control: high precision via linear scale + encoder feedback
• No-code UI: drag-and-drop sequence building
• Smart feeding: stable supply via frequency/amplitude control (1Hz/0.1mm)

AIVE: synchronized frequency + amplitude control

With precise encoder-based closed-loop control, AIVE supports dual-parameter control that fine-tunes frequency (Hz) and amplitude (mm) at the same time.

• Frequency control in 1 Hz steps
• Amplitude control in 0.1 mm steps
• Vibration stability maintained over long runs
• Fewer flipped/overlapped parts and better alignment quality

Procedure (how-to)

1. Prepare: load parts into the feeder/hopper → create a project
2. Vision calibration: align camera–robot coordinates, register pick/place references
3. Feeder recipe: tune frequency/amplitude (1Hz/0.1mm), save shape/orientation conditions
4. Motion setup: configure pick → align → place path and speed/accel-decel
5. Run & tune: review cycle-time/pick-rate logs, fine-tune feeder and suction

Expected benefits

• High precision: better accuracy on micro parts, minimal position deviation
• High efficiency: stable feeding shortens cycle time and cuts defects
• Flexibility: recipe switching minimizes downtime on part changeover
• Easy operation: the no-code UI lowers training and adoption cost
