General information

Short Summary
A French SME offers automated solutions to dispense and untangle complex parts which have a high capacity to tangle. These automated processes enable to feed continuously industrial assembly lines that requires springs or clips to be supplied unit by unit for a wide range of applications, including electrical equipment, automotive components or medical devices. The company is looking for industrial partners under commercial agreement with technical assistance for a long-term cooperation.
Full Description
The French company founded in 1987 is specialised in the design and manufacture of automated feeders and spring disentangler systems in various industrial applications from the automative to electrical and medical sectors. Its feeders and disentangler systems feed and untangle all types of springs and clips or other parts with a tendency to intertwine for automatic work. These solutions are designed to be integrated into the assembly lines.

In the wake of stronger consumer demands for sustainable products manufactured and ever-shorter product cycles it is important for producers in various applications sectors to use flexible and automated production equipment. The French SME offers automatised systems of spring disentanglers and feeders which guarantee accuracy with an optimised process.

Depending on the type of parts to be fed, its R&D department develops the most suitable solution for the project, in order to avoid tangling and orientation problems according to the client’s requirements.
The SME has a wide range of feeders and can also develop bespoke feeders according to accurate specifications. The feeder system enables complex parts like metal or plastic clips to be dispensed with loading times of less than 10 seconds. The system includes also a filling hopper for greater autonomy.

The disentanglers’ range is made up of standard disentangler systems which adapt to the size of the springs. The springs are dispensed individually using an automated dispensing pen connected to the industrial assembly lines.

The firm has an experience on the international scene as it is already selling its automated solutions in Europe above all in Spain, Italy, Switzerland but also in Israël, India and China. The firm is willing to expand worldwide finding industrial partners in the following applications sectors: automative, electrical and medical sectors.
Advantages and Innovations
The French SME has a well-established expertise and experience offering:

• A reliable system with a know-how of over 30 years
• Off-the shelf feeders and disentangler systems in stock
• Tailored feeders and disentangler systems designed to meet customers’ needs with a short
production time between 4 and 8 weeks
• After-sales service for spare parts and maintenance
• The feeders can distribute all sizes of parts: from watch springs to mattress springs thanks to its
vibrating multi-directional platform
• Feeders can dispense 1200 parts per hour
• Spring disentanglers can dispense 3000 parts per hour
• Low level of energy consumption (a 220 v single-phase system with compressed air)

The feeders and disentangler systems are easy to install and can be efficiently integrated into the special machine in place in the assembly lines.

All these automation processes are designed and built in France to guarantee high quality and control over the process.
