The paper focuses on the developement of new design of automated container feeding on a modern assembly line. The centerpiece of the assignement is the design of completely automated process of replacement of empty containers with full containers. We made 4 concept of container feeding, which we then evaluated and chose the best one. For chosen concept we made a detailed 3D model, calculated required gripping force and calculated the time of container replacement. We also described the whole feeding process, which includes robot manipulation, grabing the empty container and placing it on dumping spot and picking, manipulation and placing it on intented location on automated assembly line. We then also created the pneumatic scheme for our chosen concept.
