Delicate handling of high-quality Cosmetic powder applicator.

A flexible and future proof assembly machine made by SACMO for a major luxury cosmetics brand.

Challenge
- Place the applicator (soft pad for applying markup powder to the skin) of different shapes, color and sizes in an elegant luxurious packaging.

- Ensure brand visibility by always placing the applicator with the name of the brand oriented horizontally and on the top of the packaging.

- Handle delicately those light and deformable applicators without damaging their quality (no oily marks, no deformation of the product due to gripper or handling).

- Traditional bowl and centrifugal feeders were not meeting the brand requirements for high flexibility. Indeed, the applicator can be of different shapes, colors, or sizes. It could also be replaced by a completely different kind of accessory such as a makeup brush.

Solution
- Two Asycubes 530 have been used in conjunction with a Fanuc SR scara robot to feed the different types of applicators at a rate of 45 PPM (parts per minutes). The pre-filled makup boxes are presented individually to the feeding station thanks to a modular Festo electromagnetic conveyor.

- Thanks to Asyril easy-to-use feeder configuration software, SACMO configured the perfect vibrations to ensure applicators can re-orientate without deforming nor damaging them.

- The camera looking on the Asycube detects precisely the parts with the right side facing up and gives the angular orientation information to the robot for a fast and delicate pick and place.
