Speedy feeder sorts rivets and screws
A novel vibratory part feeder solves the problem of feeding rivets and screws in the correct orientation at very high speeds.
A novel vibratory part feeder solves the problem of feeding rivets and screws in the correct orientation at very high speeds Components such as rivets and screws need to be fed head up - a task normally accomplished by integrating a slot into the feeder
However, this technique reduces the operating speed of the feeder and requires the provision of compressed air for increasing the feed rate and removing misoriented parts.
It also requires the provision of a sensor for stopping the vibratory parts feeder when the chute is full.
The latest vibratory parts feeder developed by Elscint Automation not only achieves a very high speed or feed rate but also does away with the need for both the compressed air supply and the sensor.
