With the continuous advancement of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, manufacturing enterprises have put forward higher requirements for production line flexibility, efficiency, and stability. Due to their fixed design concepts, traditional feeding systems often struggle when handling high-mix, small-batch, and multi-variety production. In contrast, flexible feeding systems, with their high adaptability and intelligent features, are becoming the "new standard" in industrial automation feeding.

I. What is a Flexible Feeding System?

A flexible feeding system is an automated feeding solution that integrates vibration plates, vision positioning, and robotics. It can automatically identify, sort, and convey components of various shapes, sizes, and materials, providing continuous and precise material supply for downstream assembly or processing equipment.

II. Characteristics and Limitations of Traditional Feeding Systems

Traditional feeding systems are often single feeding solutions based on vibration plates, hoppers, or customized tracks. Such systems are typically designed for specific components:

• Strong specificity: Feeding tracks or vibration plates are mostly single-shape and single-size, sensitive to part variations.

• High changeover costs: Changing parts of different specifications requires replacing hardware molds or adjusting structures, resulting in long production line downtime.

• Prone to material jamming or wear: Complex-shaped components are more likely to get stuck or worn in traditional feeding environments, affecting stability and lifespan.

• Limited automation level: Most systems still require manual intervention for adjustment or maintenance, which is not conducive to unmanned production.

These limitations make traditional systems increasingly unable to meet modern manufacturing needs when facing small-batch, multi-variety, or high-precision processing.
