Compact part buffer and feeding system with vision-guided robot for multiple part variants.
The standard ACEflexfeeder Automation platform is one of the most flexible, cost-effective part feed systems for multiple part variants. Its compact design combines a part hopper, belt infeed conveyor, angled return conveyor, vision camera, and robot into a single integrated system.
The ACEflexfeeder can run single or multiple part variants and accommodates a wide range of part sizes and shapes. One robot can service 1, 2, 3, or 4 flex feeders, scaling throughput to match your production needs.
Belt color options ensure a robust vision camera system, and parts tumble twice on the angled return conveyor to change orientation — giving the vision system the best chance to identify and pick every part.

Varying widths and lengths with belt color options for robust vision performance. Includes side guide rails and transition gravity chute.
Cleated and flat belts where parts tumble twice to change orientation — giving the vision system multiple opportunities to find a pickable part.
Application-specific vision camera and lighting. Supports Cognex, Keyence, Fanuc IR-Vision, and Dalsa systems for reliable part identification.
Gripper, vacuum, or magnetic end-of-arm tooling. Single or multiple part pick-up with automatic changeover options available.
Welded frame and legset with Robot Controller and Teach Pendant or Allen Bradley/Siemens PLC & HMI. Ethernet IP communication standard.
The ACEflexfeeder platform offers a wide range of options to match your specific part feeding requirements and production environment.
Run single or multiple part variants on the same system without manual changeover, reducing downtime and increasing flexibility on the production floor.
Automatically feed and orient bulk parts from a hopper to a robot pick zone — eliminating the need for manual part presentation and dedicated bowl feeders.
One robot can service up to four flex feeders, allowing you to scale throughput and buffer capacity to match your production demands without additional robots.
