Proof of Performance, Delivered.Part Testing & Feasibility for Flexible Feeding
Send us your components. We'll prove how well they feed—and tell you exactly how to configure Part Pilot for reliable, scalable throughput.
What We Test & Why It Matters
Flexible feeding excels for high‑mix parts, frequent changeovers, complex orientations, and parts that challenge traditional bowl feeders.
Our feasibility testing reduces project risk by validating real‑world pickup, orientation, and singulation on a Part Pilot flexible feeding cell (vibratory platform + vision + robot end‑effector).
