Compact Vision-Guided SCARA Flexible Feeding System

Product Overview

The POMEAS SC Series is a compact vision-guided flexible feeding system designed for automatic feeding, recognition, sorting, orientation and tray loading of small precision parts.

It integrates a 2D industrial camera, four-axis SCARA robot, flexible vibration feeder, linear feeder, LED lighting, touchscreen computer and unified controller into one compact system.

The system can identify and handle parts with different shapes, sizes and materials, making it suitable for flexible automated production and frequent product changeovers.

Main Features

• Integrated vision, robot and feeder control
• Automatic part recognition and positioning
• Supports multiple part shapes, sizes and materials
• Compact structure for limited installation spaces
• Fast product changeover with reusable feeder configurations
• Touchscreen operation for easy setup and control
• Suitable for feeding, sorting, orientation and tray loading
• Available in SC-1000 and SC-2000 configurations

Technical Highlights

High-Precision Vision Positioning

The 2D industrial camera identifies the position and orientation of each part before sending the coordinates directly to the SCARA robot.

• Minimum detectable part size: approximately 2 mm
• Camera positioning accuracy: ±0.05 mm
• Image processing time: approximately 200 ms

Fast and Stable Robot Handling

The four-axis SCARA robot provides precise and repeatable pick-and-place performance for small components.

• Robot repeatability: ±0.05 mm
• Maximum robot speed: 600 mm/s
• Maximum payload: 250 g
• Available robot reach: 200 mm or 230 mm

Flexible Part Feeding

The flexible vibration feeder can be used with different components without requiring a dedicated mechanical bowl feeder for every product.

• Supports recognition of up to 5 part types
• Small, medium and large feeder options
• Fast changeover for different components
• Typical cycle time: 1.8–2.5 seconds per part

Actual cycle time may vary depending on part shape, travel distance, feeder settings and application requirements.

Typical Applications

Electronic Component Feeding

Automatically recognize and separate different screws, pins, terminals and small electronic components before assembly.

Precision Part Sorting

Identify part position and orientation, then sort components into different locations or production stations.

Conveyor Pick-and-Place

Pick parts from a feeder or conveyor and place them in a consistent direction for the next manufacturing process.

Blister Tray Loading

Load small components into blister trays or customized fixtures with accurate positioning.

Automated Assembly Lines

Integrate the system into production lines for feeding, orientation, transfer and assembly preparation.

3C Component Handling

Suitable for small components used in consumer electronics, communication products and precision manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What types of parts can the system handle?

The system can handle small parts with different shapes, sizes and materials, including screws, pins, terminals, electronic components and precision mechanical parts.

2. Can one system handle different products?

Yes. The vision system and flexible feeder can be reconfigured for different parts, helping reduce changeover time between products.

3. What is the smallest detectable part size?

The vision system can recognize parts as small as approximately 2 mm, depending on the part shape, contrast and lighting conditions.

4. What is the positioning accuracy?

The camera positioning accuracy and robot repeatability are both up to ±0.05 mm under suitable operating conditions.

5. What is the typical production speed?

The typical cycle time is approximately 1.8–2.5 seconds per part, including vibration and image capture. Actual speed depends on the part and travel distance.

6. Can the system sort multiple part types?

Yes. The system can recognize up to five different part types and sort them into different positions.

7. What is the difference between SC-1000 and SC-2000?

SC-1000 is the compact standard configuration, while SC-2000 supports a larger feeder and expanded system configuration for larger parts or higher-capacity applications.

8. Can the gripper and feeder be customized?

Yes. The feeder size, robot reach, gripper, lighting and fixtures can be customized according to the part dimensions, weight and required process.

9. Is the system suitable for installation in the United States?

The input voltage and electrical configuration should be confirmed according to the customer’s installation site before ordering.

10. What information is required for a quotation?

Please provide:

• Part photos or drawings
• Part dimensions and weight
• Part material
• Required production cycle
• Feeding direction
• Target placement position
• Input voltage
