Disposal
When the product becomes no longer usable or necessary, dispose of it properly as an
industrial waste.
WARNING!
Observe the valid legal regulation for appropriate disposal protecting environment.
Specific warnings
Safety Equipment for Operators
- For safety reasons operators must wear protective eyewear when using the backlight of the
Asycube without diffuser installed. (the backlight lighting LEDs is equivalent to a Class 1
compared with lasers)
For more information on visible or non visible radiation emitted by the backlight, please refer
to “1.2.2.2 Specific warnings concerning this product” on page 6.
NOTE :
It is the customer responsibility to install warning signs informing that anyone working around
the Asycube must wear safety equipment.
Specific warnings concerning this product
(A) Backlight
The Asycube has an integrated Backlight that
consists of LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes).
These LED’s emit visible or non-visible
radiation depending on the color of the
Backlight. LED’s illumination can create
discomfort od damage to cornea. Never look
directly into the light source without any
personal protection (e.g. protective eyewear).
Customers are encouraged to document their
unique application and instruct employees on
procedures to limit exposure to LED
radiation. This Backlight is not constructed to
be used permanently. Please switch off the
illumination after image acquisition. (Auto-
switch OFF after 30” of timeout)

Version: A1
000.100.501 Operating Manual - Asycube 50 & 80 7/45
The used LED are class 0 according to the norm EN 62471. It is the responsibility of
customers to document their own application and instruct employees on procedures to limit
exposure to LED radiation. Following prevention agent can be suggested:
A. Interpose, insofar as the job allows, a high pass filter at x nm depending on the color (see
2.6.5) under a fixed or adjustable connection between the source and the employee
B. When the implementation of the foregoing is not possible, provide workers with goggles
or face shield suitable for blocking radiation beyond 700nm;
C. Prohibit or limit as possible direct access to the source (exposure in the axis of radiation).
D. Establish a security perimeter to prevent operators from approaching the source at
distances beyond the nominal ocular hazard recommended by the manufacturer
E. In all cases, ensure that the means used properly mitigate exposure variables
(characteristics of screens or goggles to choose based on wavelength which operators
are exposed).
Temperature
The active elements into the asycube
make the surfaces shown on the
picture heating up to 40°C in nominal
use. This temperature can
nevertheless increase to 55°C in
extreme use.
It is the responsibility of customers to
document their own application and
instruct employees on procedures to
avoid contact with these surfaces

2. Description
First glimpse at the product
Asycube sets new standards in miniature part feeding. Its 3D vibratory platform allows fast
and flexible presentation of miniature parts (0.2 mm to 8 mm) to a robot equipped with a
vision system. It consists in:
(A) A 3D vibrating platform (optional)
(B) A removable hopper where the
components are stored (optional)
(C) Electrical interfaces (communication,
power supply, I/Os…)
(D) An integrated mechanism allowing to
remove the platform easily without
additional tooling
(E) An integrated backlight (optional) that
allows an easy recognition of the
parts with a camera
For more information on electrical
interfaces to the Asycube, please

Displacement of the parts
To define a specific movement with
the Asycube several parameters need
to be configured. For each movement
on the cube, twelve parameters must
be set. Calling these twelve
parameters will generate specific
vibrations (corresponding to the sum
of the movements of the three
actuators situated below the
platform).
The figure on the right shows the
predefined parameters and the
associated movements.
For more information on these
parameters, and to learn how to
configure them, in order to control the
cube and hopper vibrations, please

Power connection
WARNING !
- Before supplying power to the Asycube, check the nominal voltage.
- Ensure that the power cable is connected to the asycube before switching on
- Always turn off the power supply of the asycube before disconnecting the power
cable.
- Make sure to connect the 0V and the 24V according to the table. An incorrect
connection can damage the asycube.

NOTE
S-Power is the safety power for the backlight. Cutting this S-Power ensures that the
backlight stays OFF (e.g. to secure IR backlight danger).
The following connection schematic shows the way to connect the Asycube depending if
your application requires using an external relay to ensure that the backlight is safely
switched off or not.
In any case, both “Power” and “S-Power” have to be supplied for using the backlight.

Both Power and S-Power can be connected to a single power supply or to two different
