Bellco Flex

We have many units in stock at our Ohio Facility. We don’t always have every size. If we don’t have your desired size, it takes about 6-7 weeks to build from scratch.

When you are running many part variants through one cell, when the parts change often enough that tooling a bowl per part stops making sense, or when the part is delicate enough that you would rather it were not circulating in a vibrating bowl at all. If you run one part at high volume, a custom-tooled bowl is still faster and cheaper.

Yes — the platform presents parts, the camera finds them, and the robot picks them. If you already have vision in the cell, we build to it. If you do not, we can supply the camera, the control cabinet, the PLC and the wiring as one turnkey package, the same way we do on our vision-guided step feeders.

Start with the part footprint and weight and work up: pick areas run from 134 × 108 mm on the Flex 100 to 504 × 330 mm on the Flex 500, with maximum loads from 0.5 kg to 2 kg. Send us the part and the cycle time and we will tell you which size fits and whether one platform is enough.

That depends on your robot and your vision cycle far more than on the platform. We will scope the throughput honestly against your actual cell rather than quote a headline number that assumes a robot you do not have.

Three business days is our average. Send us the part — or a drawing of it — along with your target feed rate and how the parts need to be presented downstream, and an engineer will come back to you with a scoped quote rather than a ballpark.

Bellco systems are typically priced 20–40% below traditional suppliers. We manufacture directly — no brokers, no middlemen — which lets us compete on price without cutting engineering time, material quality, or testing. Every system still includes a full SolidWorks design review and a factory acceptance test.

Yes — that’s the point of it. Different parts run on the same platform without machining new tooling, so changeover is a program change instead of a hardware change. It’s what makes Flex worth it on a cell that has to handle a family of parts.

Yes. We keep Flex units in house and run part tests constantly. Send us a few sample parts and we’ll run real-world tests and tell you honestly whether it feeds well enough to build a cell around.
