Flexim Open Automation System can be equipped with 5 different part manipulation workstations:
• Automatic part loading station: : high-speed manipulator (90pcs/min) with vision system controlled angular orientation and quality control
• Manual loading station with dedicated switchboard
• Re-orientation station: : high-speed rotating manipulator (90pcs/min) to change on the line the orientation of parts by 0-360 degrees (90 pcs/min)
• Automatic unloading station: high-speed manipulator (90pcs/min)
• Automatic palletization station with high speed robot

Smart Factory offers a range of sophisticated vision systems that respond to the different needs related to quality control. Smart Factory control stations are capable of managing dimensional control, defect detection, chromatic variance and surface finishing defects. These inspection stations can be integrated in any manipulation station.
Smart Factory developed two stations for handling part presence detection:
   • Servo-touch probe with encoder reading
   • Touch probe with digital indicator for high precision applications

Flexim Open Automation System can be equipped with:
• Press station up to 1500N
• Hot-melt glue dispenser
• Bicomponent glue dispenser
• UV curing station

Flexim Open Automation System can be equipped with:
• Lateral rolling station
• Screwing station with torque control (up to 5Nm)

Flexim Open Automation System can be equipped with:

Smart Factory has integrated an innovative technology to form metals (aluminum, brass, copper, …) using electro-magnetic pulses.
This technology enables:
• Contactless, hence flexible, shaping of metals
• Welding of different metals (i.e. aluminum with brass)
• Contactless crimping that passes helium leakage test
