For the next year several new investments are
programmed. In 2014 a flexible transport system for
inter linking manual and automatic workstations (handling
equipment, robots) and machine tools will be installed. In
addition an easy-to-use, standalone vision guidance systems
(Adept Sight) and a small parts feeder (Adept Flexbowl) will
be set up in the next year. The feeder handles a wide array of
loose small parts including parts of different shapes and
materials. Using the vision guidance system Adept Sight will
help to deal with smaller parts and tighter tolerances.
