A vibratory bowl feeder handles conical washers - correctly oriented consistently - and also feeds them in a single row, thereby eliminating the chances of double feeding of the washers.

A vibratory bowl feeder handles conical washers - correctly oriented consistently - and also feeds them in a single row, thereby eliminating the chances of double feeding of the washers.

Elscint Automation, the ISO 9001:2000 certified leading vibratory parts feeder manufacturer (having CE Marking for its parts feeders) from India has recently manufactured a vibratory bowl Feeder for the feeding of conical washers.

The washers have an outer diameter of 58mm/inner diameter of 45mm and thickness of just 0.8mm.

Due to their conical curvature, the washers have a tendency of coming in a bunch and it is difficult to remove one out of the bunch.

Orientation too is very critical as the washer is being used in a SPM which cannot detect wrongly orientated pieces.

This makes it pertinent to have a bowl feeder that not only feeds correctly oriented parts consistently but also feeds them in a single row, thereby eliminating the chances of double feeding of the washers.

For this, Elscint has used a cast aluminium bowl from the various types of cast aluminium bowls, which Elscint keeps in stock for faster delivery.

An Elscint Linear Vibrator for further feeding of the washers to an assembly table, an auto-switch off mechanism, escapement to release only one component at one time and a table type stand along with (+/-100mm) height adjustment and leveling screws completes the Vibratory Feeding System.

These and other innovative application ideas are possible by interacting with the qualified application engineers from Elscint Automation, who are more than eager to help you in your feeding requirements.
