The flexible feeder is a highly versatile feeding device meticulously developed by Danikor. It works in conjunction with mature vision positioning systems and robotic systems to achieve flexible feeding. The combination of a flexible vibration bowl, vision positioning, and robotics solves the feeding challenges of ultra-thin, ultra-small, irregularly shaped, and feature-less parts. Thanks to its high versatility, it is especially suitable for scenarios with rapid product updates and frequent material changes, and is widely used in automotive manufacturing, 3C electronics, and biomedical fields. Let’s take a look at some specific application cases:
1. Feeding Injection Molded Silicone Inserts
With the development of the electronics industry, the variety of injection-molded products has increased, and the molding process for silicone molds has become more complex. Most vertical injection molding machines still rely on manual tooling and manual insertion of inserts, which cannot be done in batches. This low level of automation leads to poor efficiency. Our MTS flexible feeder is ideal for solving these issues.
2. Feeding Ultra-Thin Parts
In automated production, traditional vibration bowls are often used to feed thin parts for high efficiency. However, due to the simple control methods of traditional systems, thin parts often slide under one another, causing jamming during feeding. The flexible feeder ensures a smooth and consistent feeding process, reducing jams, increasing speed and stability, and ultimately improving production efficiency while lowering costs.

3. Automated Feeding of Irregular Parts
In the automated production of small irregular parts, parts must be individually sorted and fed into CNC machines for processing, then transferred to output tracks. Traditionally, this sorting, feeding, and transferring is done manually, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. The MTS flexible feeder overcomes these shortcomings by automatically arranging and feeding irregular parts, reducing labor burden and improving efficiency. The flexible bowl surface can be quickly swapped to accommodate different sizes and shapes, expanding its application range.

4. Feeding Electronic Components
Electronic components include resistors, capacitors, connectors, semiconductors, sensors, switches, relays, and more. Traditional vibratory feeders can only handle one tray at a time, limiting efficiency. The MTS flexible feeder allows multiple products to be placed in the flexible bowl at once, significantly increasing feeding efficiency and meeting the demands of modern electronic component manufacturing.

5. Feeding Soft Silicone Rubber Seals
Traditional feeding of silicone rubber seals relies on vibratory bowls and linear feeders, which are noisy, high-maintenance, and prone to clogging, especially with soft materials. The flexible feeder effectively overcomes these issues, offering a high-efficiency, low-noise, and non-clogging solution for automated feeding of soft silicone rubber seals.
