3DF-1

Revolutionize your production line with the 3DF-1, designed to sort, orient, and affix loose 3D products with unparalleled speed and precision.

Care-Free Bulk Loading

Redundant Feed Channels

Up to 200 3D PPM

3DF-1 uses a high speed vibratory bowl to handle delicate format 3D products. Once the parts are sorted and correctly oriented, they are transfered to a redundant set of buffers.

These buffered parts are then transfered to lugged horizontal track which allows smooth control of the products at the same time meeting the feeding request of the line. A precise rotary motion pick and place system will deliver them from the lugs to the packaging line.
