Feeding Automation by TAIUNI

Product Overview

- TAIUNI Feeding Automation is a modular parts escapement mechanism designed to separate and present individual parts from a continuous stream (from a linear feeder or conveyor) to a downstream pick-and-place or processing station.

- Main components: pneumatic cylinder, custom machined nest fixture (replaceable chutes), through‑beam fiber‑optic sensors with amplifier, support/bracket frame.

- Built for integration into automated production lines and sold in configurable sets (minimum configuration around USD 300 per set).

Product Features

- Mechanical: simple, compact structure with a machined nest that only accepts one part at a time to avoid damage to neighboring parts.

- Sensing and control: through‑beam fiber‑optic sensors and an amplifier to tune detection parameters and confirm part presence in the nest.

- Motion sequence: home → detect part → cylinder drives nest forward to present a single part → part picked → cylinder returns to home for next cycle.

- Modularity: nests/chutes are interchangeable to accommodate different part geometries.

- Customizable components: choice of brands for cylinders and sensors (e.g., SMC, Festo, Omron, Keyence, SICK or equivalent Chinese brands).

- Operational: low noise (below 70 dB) and compact footprint.

Product Value

- Improves feeding accuracy and consistency by reliably singulating and presenting single parts for automated picking or processing.

- Increases line automation and throughput while reducing manual handling and part damage.

- Cost‑effective entry-level automation solution with configurable options to match production needs.

- Flexible compatibility with various feeders, conveyors and robotic/vision systems due to replaceable chutes and selectable component brands.

Product Advantages

- High stability and reliability from a simple, well‑engineered mechanical design and machined fixtures.

- Strong versatility — only the nest/chute needs to be changed for different parts, minimizing downtime and tooling cost.

- Tunable sensing (fiber amplifier) yields accurate presence detection and fewer false cycles.

- Low noise (

- Support and service network from the manufacturer, plus options for branded components and export experience.

Application Scenarios

- Automated assembly lines where single-part presentation is required for pick‑and‑place robots or assembly stations.

- Electronics and plastics manufacturing for singulating small plates, housings, or stamped parts.

- Automotive component feeding, consumer goods production, packaging and sorting lines.

- Any production line that uses linear feeders or conveyors and needs reliable, repeatable part escapement and presentation.
