The software simplifies Asycube integration and allows the intelligent feeder to leverage Yamaha's high-resolution, high-speed RCXiVY2+ vision system. Any Yamaha SCARA or Cartesian robot compatible with the RCX320 or RCX340 controller can now rely on Asycube to quickly sort and orient bulk components for easier and faster picking. The Asycube feeder intelligently adjusts vibration frequency, amplitude, and plate orientation to optimally position parts, utilizing advanced 3-axis vibration technology. A standard Ethernet connection simplifies setup, and scalability is ensured by connecting multiple feeders via a switching hub.
“The Asycube software plugin easily integrates the Asyril Flexible Feeder with Yamaha’s fast, agile robots and efficient RCXiVY2+ vision system to provide greater flexibility and boost productivity,” says Ryosuke Nakamura, Branch Manager of the robotics division at Yamaha Motor Europe. “With the free plugin, our customers can quickly implement this cutting-edge innovation in their factories.”.
The Yamaha RCXiVY2+ vision system maximizes the advantages of Asycube with features such as continuous vision that checks pick-up orientation on the fly. Developed using knowledge gained from high-speed surface mounting of electronic components, this system increases productivity by up to 20%. Any pick-up deviation is automatically corrected, allowing for direct placement or mounting of picked parts.
The Asycube plugin is available for download to registered users of the Yamaha Robot Member website. The website also contains information to help select equipment and accessories such as actuators, product design tips for robotic assembly, and assistance with setting up, programming, and maintaining Yamaha industrial robots.
