Part Feeding 7.0 IF-240 Rev.5 7
2. Description
2.1 First glimpse of product
The IF-240 sets new standards in small part feeding. Its 3D vibratory platform allows fast
and flexible presentation of small parts (5 × 5 to 15 × 15 mm) to a robot equipped with a
vision system.
The core of the IF-240 is a platform that can vibrate in three orthogonal directions. By
selecting appropriate vibration signals, a high flexibility in displacing parts on the platform
is reached (forward, backward, and sidewise) and flipping is made possible.
It consists of:

(A) 3D vibrating platform
(B) Electrical interfaces (communication, power supply, I/Os…)
(C) An integrated mechanism allowing removal of the platform easily without additional
tooling
(D) An integrated backlight (optional) that allows an easy recognition of the parts from a
camera placed above
For more information on electrical interfaces of the IF-240, refer to 2.4. Electrical
interfaces.
