STRENGTH
01
The sFAB-D supports a wide range of parts, from radial and axial parts to large odd-form parts, and loose supplied parts.
This eliminates restrictions caused by part supply packaging and handling methods.
Parts supplied in bulk
Five types of loose parts can be simultaneously supplied
Easy changeover
Loose parts supply unit
BPU2
02
Only the tips of pins are captured with high contrast by directly illuminating the outer circumference.
Precise pin positioning combined with bend and misalignment detection ensures consistent insertion quality.
Standard camera
Sidelight camera
03
Tall parts exceeding 2 inches or large heavy parts exceeding 100 g can be inserted at high speeds.
The machine automatically exchanges between nozzles that pick up the top surface of parts, part lead chucks that clamp the leads of parts, and body chucks that hold the part main body as required. This enables the machine to flexibly and reliably support a wide range of part shapes.

From introductions that build on existing manual operations to fully automated solutions optimized to production scale and processes,
the sFAB-D delivers customer-focused automation.

ISSUE
Manual processes become more
complex due to
increased product variety
There are variations in
quality and work time
Takes time
to educate
All of these affect quality and productivity
SOLUTION
Automating manually dependent processes reduces training burdens and ensures consistent quality,
even for complex operations, regardless of skill levels.
The direction is checked by taking images of the top surface of the part, and the tool is turned so that it faces the correct direction.
After checking the lead positions, the direction is checked and the tool is turned so that the part faces the correct direction.
Success or failure of insertion is determined by the difference in the Z-axis stroke.
