ACEflexfeeder
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.
Download Brochure (PDF)Part Hopper
Varying sizes with belt driven or vibratory feed. Includes part separation tooling fingers and part stack elimination tooling for reliable singulation.
Belt Infeed Conveyor
Varying widths and lengths with belt color options for robust vision performance. Includes side guide rails and transition gravity chute.
Angled Return Conveyor
Cleated and flat belts where parts tumble twice to change orientation — giving the vision system multiple opportunities to find a pickable part.
Vision Camera & Lighting
Application-specific vision camera and lighting. Supports Cognex, Keyence, Fanuc IR-Vision, and Dalsa systems for reliable part identification.
Robot with EOAT
Gripper, vacuum, or magnetic end-of-arm tooling. Single or multiple part pick-up with automatic changeover options available.
Welded Frame & Controls
Welded frame and legset with Robot Controller and Teach Pendant or Allen Bradley/Siemens PLC & HMI. Ethernet IP communication standard.

Multiple Part Variants
Run single or multiple part variants on the same system without manual changeover, reducing downtime and increasing flexibility on the production floor.
Bulk Part Feeding
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.
Scalable Throughput
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.
