Robotic solutions for mobility and production flexibility

ROBO FEED CX is a range of robotic solutions designed to provide an automated system for feeding and handling small to medium-sized parts.

ROBO FEED CX enables the feeding, orientation, separation and scanning of components for rapid retrieval.

Depending on production requirements, the process and the performance needed, ROBO FEED CX can be configured with two different robotic technologies: the FANUC CRX-10iA/L collaborative robot or the FANUC LR Mate 200iD/7L industrial robot.

The configuration is therefore determined based on the application: ranging from the flexibility and ease of use of collaborative robotics to the precision and performance of industrial robotics.

The compact dimensions and absence of bulky structures save space on the shop floor and allow the CNC machine to be used in manual mode, with one operator, as often as necessary.

The software developed by ROBO FEED simplifies automation management and the configuration of production cycles, making the toolmaker’s job easier and speeding up the transition from one production run to another.

Features

Electric Lifting System

The Electric Lifting System is the solution that simplifies and optimises movements between machine tools, offering concrete advantages for your productivity.

The advantages

Ease of positioning: positions the cell with extreme precision in the predetermined points, without effort or complications.
Reduced physical effort: operators can work more ergonomically, minimising fatigue and increasing safety.
Energy efficiency: thanks to the electric actuator, which has a built-in battery, there is no need for a continuous connection to the mains, ensuring flexibility and energy savings.

SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS

Our system is designed to simplify human-machine interaction, making automation accessible even to operators with no specific programming skills.

No complex learning curve and no code to write: every operation is guided and intuitive.

Smart Programming: simple management, regardless of the robot

ROBO FEED CX is designed to simplify the management of automation and speed up configuration and changeover operations.

Thanks to the software developed by ROBO FEED and an intuitive interface, the set-up operator can easily manage the main cycle parameters, whether using the FANUC CRX-10iA/L collaborative robot or the FANUC LR Mate 200iD/7L industrial robot.

Manual manipulation and self-learning
In the collaborative configuration, the operator can manually move the robotic arm, allowing the cobot to automatically learn the coordinates. This drastically reduces set-up times, improving productivity and process accuracy.
Simplified management even with industrial robots
In the FANUC LR Mate configuration, the ROBO FEED software keeps process management simple, allowing the set-up operator to configure the parameters required for production via an interface designed to facilitate the day-to-day use of the automation system.
Real-time control via the mobile app
The dedicated app, integrated with the company’s system, offers constant monitoring of machine data, ensuring total control and more efficient management of operations.
