When packaging small parts, compliance with qualitative and quantitative parameters is of particular importance. Excess or short quantities as well as faulty small parts must be completely excluded as far as possible.

Automated Packaging Systems (APS) now offers in co-operation with the Swedish company DETAB Ecomat Automation AB a complete solution for feeding, counting, checking, sorting and packing components.

The Feeding system of the DG Flex Feeder captured by means of Eurovision 5000 image processing up to 500 components per minute in sizes from 1 to 200 millimetres. Even transparent small parts are reliably detected.

A large feed table and a parts magazine complete the system. The Swedish feeder works almost silently and also combines different components in one bag. An independent optical system ensures quality control both small and large series.

he feeder's system interface communicates easily with all Autobag packaging machines via plug-and-play. In addition to packaging the components, the APS machines also take care of the Printing on the packaging bags. In practical industrial use, the easy-to-operate feeder works with up to 3000 different components.
