ROTATING SURFACE
In the standard version the FlexiBowl

is supplied with a white
surface. It is driven by a motor inside the frame.
Note:
if there is a backlight, it must be seen through the surface.
The material of the rotating surface is available in different materials
and thicknesses (see the
"Optional Components"
section).

SLIDING SURFACE
This acts as a support for the rotating surface. It features a Lexan
window that lets the backlighting (if present) shine through.

FLIP (PNEUMATIC SHAKING UNIT)
THIS consists of a pneumatic cylinder that generates an impulse,
from underneath, onto the rotating surface to flip the objects.
IT
is located before the parts reach the inspection window to enable
correct orientation. The frequency and duration of the impulse can
be programmed in order to correctly flip the parts. The force of the
impulse is moderated through the compressed air regulator, located
on the connection unit.

FLIP GUARD
THISis mounted on the top ring over the Flip. It prevents objects
from flipping over the edge.
