See How PARTX Elevates Your Automation
PartX delivers reliable, high-performance part presentation built for speed, consistency, and flexibility. As the exclusive North American distribution partner, Performance Feeders brings PartX flex feeding technology to manufacturers looking for practical, robot-ready automation.
WHERE FLEX FEEDERS DELIVER THE MOST VALUE
Complex Geometries
Easily feeds irregular, soft, tangled, or hard-to-orient parts into the next stage of automation.
High-Mix Production
High-mix, low-volume production with frequent part changes
Multiple Part Variations
Production lines requiring multiple part and size variations, and frequent changeovers.
Reduced Downtime
Duo tray system supports continuous part availability, helping reduce interruptions and improve production efficiency.
Built for Part Variance
Manage variations in size, shape, material, and orientation
Multiple Platform Sizes
Supports micro components to larger parts
Robot-Ready
Positions parts for accurate, repeatable robotic picking
Overview
What is PartX?
The PartX flexible feeding system uses single or duo vibrating trays to orient and present parts for robotic picking. Built for high-speed manufacturing, PartX helps reduce downtime, simplify changeovers, and improve production flexibility, with optional purge functionality and cleanroom-ready configurations.
Technology
How does PartX work?
A backlit tray aids the vision system in identifying part position and orientation, allowing the robot to pick parts with precision across different geometries. PartX interfaces with the vision system to adjust lighting and vibration, supporting efficient, hands-off part presentation.
