Abstract
Flexible parts feeding techniques have begun to gain industry acceptance. However, one barrier to effective flexible feeding solutions is a dearth of knowledge of the under lying dynamics involved in flexible part feeders. The paper presents the results of testing the CWRU flexible parts feeder. Data was collected for extended periods while feeding a variety of parts. The data was examined to determine throughput and statistical properties. In addition, tests were performed to examine other aspects of the system. A new metric for specifying the throughput of vision-based flexible feeders is presented, interesting system phenomena are examined, and a statistical analysis of the data is performed.
