Robotic Assembly, Inspection and Test Cells:

AGR is an integrator of robotic systems which are supplied for a wide variety of assembly inspection and test operations. Applications undertaken include: assembly of print cartridges, packaging of disposable razors and syringes flow test and vision test.

Parts Handling Solutions:

Autovibe (TM):

AGR's technology for vibratory drive and control is at the heart of all its vibratory feed systems. It is also available as an upgrade package for all vibratory systems supplied by Arthur G Russell prior to 2000.
Comprising a range of different sized vibratory blocks and digital controller which keep the vibratory feed systems constantly in tune, optimising output, reliability and significantly reducing noise levels associated with other vibratory equipment.

Vibratory Bowl Feeders:

A range of bowl tops in cast aluminium, stainless steel and plastic is available, with a wide range of coating and tooling options to maximise the efficiency of the system. AGR specialises in high speed applications 100-500 parts per minute.

Vibratory Tracks and Multi Lane Feeders:

Also using the Autovibe technology, components can be transferred in a linear direction on single lane tracks or high volume multi-lane systems with up to 50 parallel lanes.

Rotafeed (TM) Centrifugal Feeders:

This award winning centrifugal feed system is able to feed a wide range of components at constant high output. For example a 5ml syringe barrel can be fed at 750ppm.

Cannula Feed System and Assembly Systems:

Handling and feeding metal cannula into plastic hubs and other medical devices at rates up to 1000ppm.

Packaging, Feed and Load Systems:

Combining various parts handling technologies to feed and load, systems can be designed and built to optimise the efficiency of proprietary packaging machinery such as blister packaging machines.
