Overview
The Ridgeback 3042 is equipped with the largest base recirculation table area among our standard models at 30 inches by 42 inches and operates like all of our flex feeders, including the inclusion of a designated picking area. Parts are circulated across the zone with the vision system singling out a part, communicating that information to the robot component, and then the robot picks the part.
Given its size, our extra-large flex feeder is capable of handling the largest part sizes of any entry in our Ridgeback line. The integrated hopper can accommodate part loads in excess of the 100-pound benchmark of the Ridgeback 1624. The custom controls facilitate streamlined integration and operation, and it can be installed as a standalone unit with its own pedestal-style stand or implemented as a table-top system.
This extra-large flex feeder can be customized with a full assortment of optional features Twist Track, our gentle part-flipping addition, and multiple-lane functionality.
