For producers of components feeding systems, medical devices pose a particular set of difficulties. Components of such medical devices may be tiny, pointy, clinging, floppy, tangly, or a combination of those traits. The need for feeding systems to be somewhat discreet, suitable for clean environments, and easy to clean only serves to exacerbate issues.
Silicon and rubber parts often get stuck on traditional bowl feeder tracks and that undermines the whole machine’s reliability.
The lack of mechanical tooling and the use of FDA-compliant materials make of FlexiBowl must-have equipment for the current manufacturing needs in the Medical industry.
The best option for these applications is FlexiBowl®, a flexible feeding device that can optimize the feeding of pharmaceutical and medical parts and components while meeting all necessary standards.
00:00 | Intro: the bulk feeder loads life pacifier nipples onto the flexible feeder
00:12 | FlexiBowl® singulates the medical parts with its flipping action
00:30 | FlexiTrack operating mode enables the circular conveyor tracking of the FlexiBowl. Using the FlexiTrack operating mode, the vision system operates in a separate sector located right before the robot picking area.
01:19 | Fanuc robot picks up components from the spike beige rotary disc.
FlexiTrack is an innovative feature that increases the flexibility, modularity, and productivity of the system up to 100%.

The feeding is much slower than vibratory bowl feeder.
