Robotics in the UK has been a slow-growing sector, but the UK Automation Forum is hoping to change that. A new initiative, the Forum has been launched to promote the adoption of automation across the manufacturing sector. It will bring together industry experts, policymakers, and technology suppliers to achieve this goal. By implementing a wider use of automation, the UK manufacturing sector aims to become more globally competitive. Want to get involved?

Why We Chose This Technology for Our Automation Lab: Post #1 – Flexible Parts Feeders Introducing Flexible Feeders: Revolutionizing Automation for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers! What Are They? ✅ Flexible feeders represent a major step forward in automation feeding technology, designed to support frequently changing parts, a common theme for small and medium-sized manufacturers. Unlike traditional feeders, such as bowl feeders, they offer unparalleled flexibility and efficiency in presenting smaller bulk parts for robotic or cobotic manipulation. Utilizing a blend of vibration, lighting, and advanced machine vision, these feeders excel in singulating and presenting parts for seamless picking. Key Benefits for Small and Medium-Sized Manufacturers: ✅ Lightning-Fast Changeovers: Switching between different parts is a breeze, requiring minimal downtime to clear the system and select a new program. ✅ Multi-Part Capability: Load multiple different parts simultaneously, streamlining assembly processes by accommodating various components in a single feeder. ✅ Tailored Solutions: Enjoy the flexibility of custom trays tailored to your specific needs, ensuring precise alignment and orientation of parts for enhanced efficiency. ✅ Unmatched Customizability: With the ability to handle diverse part sizes and configurations, these feeders adapt effortlessly to evolving manufacturing requirements. ✅ Perfect for Any Batch Size: Whether you're producing small runs or large batches, flexible feeders excel in handling parts delivered in bulk. Points to Consider: ❗Handling Flat Parts: While versatile, some flexible feeders may encounter challenges when moving and flipping large, flat parts. ❗Capacity and Power: Ensure the feeder can accommodate several of your largest parts simultaneously and possesses sufficient power to handle heavier components with ease. Example Brands: ➖Asyril (available in our Automation Lab) ➖Flexibowl (available in our Automation Lab) ➖Flexfactory ➖Roboshop ❔❔❔ Do you see any leading brands are missing from the list? What has your experience been with flexible parts feeders?

Automation is increasingly recognized as a transformative force. Yet many companies in metal fabrication remain cautious. Why the hesitation? High initial costs, potential workforce disruptions, and technical complexities present significant barriers. As companies become more aware of the benefits of automation—enhanced efficiency, superior quality, and notable cost reductions—they are starting to take the leap. Innovative tools like Augmentus' Scan-to-Path robotics platform make this transition smoother and more accessible than ever.
