Many of our customers can use the robot and our Gripper to do a pick and place or assembly. The problem is not picking the part or doing the task, but just feeding the part to the robot.
What are the techniques that you use? Any good suppliers of vibratory bowls or feeders?

Does anybody have experience with Flexomation?
@Ryan_Weaver, @Mathew_Garcia, @dhenderson : Have you had a lot of applications with the Asyril feeders? What is the range of parts that you can use them on?

@Samuel_Bouchard Sorry for the extremely late response on this. We have done a bit with Asyril but as Ryan says they are kinda designed for small parts. I have also worked with the Adept Anyfeeder and it is a very capable product for a larger range of sizes. With either product you have to dial them in to get the parts separated well.
We don't necessarily go hunting for these types of applications. When we do get involved on this side of the process it is often because the client has incorrectly identified a parts presentation or separation problem as a robotic pick and place problem, and we happen to have a couple of tools in the toolbox that they might find useful.
Check this video to see how you can use vision to do part feeding.
