Feeding Technology | BBS Automation

BBS Automation stands for highly efficient and reliable automation, particularly in high-speed assembly lines.

Feeder systems for high production output

It is fundamental to process stability in assembly lines that single parts are sorted, fed and presented correctly within the required cycle time. That is our area of focus.

From a single source, we offer optimized flow between presentation and cycled separation of the sorted product, economic feeder solutions as part of our machine concepts and interface security for turnkey systems.

Another benefit: high-speed production systems that exploit their cycle-time potential to the full.

We develop various sorting and feeder solutions.Our focus is on state-of-the-art vibration bowl feeders. Using a modular system, we specialize in bespoke, yet reproducible, systems.

BBS feeder systems can thus be adapted to every requirement of your production system – flexibly and with perfect precision.

Reliable Linear Feeding Technology

High-quality feeding technology has always played a crucial role in maximizing the performance of modern assembly lines. Stable and efficient line operation is only guaranteed if the individual parts to be assembled are delivered reliably and in the correct orientation to the assembly point. This is particularly true for our high-volume lines, which produce several hundred devices per minute. We meet these increasing demands with state-of-the-art feeding solutions that increasingly rely on multi-lane linear concepts. In this setup, the spiral conveyor primarily handles pre-separation and transfers the parts to linear, parallel feeding rails. The actual reproducible sorting takes place on these rails-performed identically on every lane and fully documented in the design. This standardised approach significantly reduces the amount of manual adjustment and largely eliminates the need for costly duplication of additional, space-intensive spiral conveyors.

Ergonomic, Safe and Efficient Feeding Solutions

Ergonomic and health-conscious working conditions are becoming increasingly important. We address this need with well-designed feeding concepts that enable ergonomic and safe loading of sorted materials. In doing so, we consider both the optimal working height and the most gentle, material-appropriate feeding of components. The result is solutions that are not only efficient, but also sustainable and user-friendly.

Faster, Safer Designs with AI-Powered Feeding Simulations

Whereas in the past a significant amount of manual design and fine-tuning was required, today—where appropriate—we use modern simulation methods supported by AI. This allows us to virtually analyze and optimize the sorting behavior of complex components in advance. This significantly reduces both development effort and project risks and leads to more robust solutions that are available more quickly.
