Solution
The bowl feeder system automatically sorts and feeds clips. The system includes a clip bowl feeder, a linear feeder, and, at the end of the feed line, an escapement that separates the parts before they are delivered individually to a robot for collection.
Vibratory Bowl Feeder
A vibratory sorting bowl is tooled to feed and orient the clip parts before transferring them in a single stream to the linear outfeed.
Linear Feeder
The vibratory linear feeder features a single-lane, tooled track about 600 mm long and is equipped with a high-level sensor that feeds the parts stream into the escapement.
Side Shuttle Escapement
A pneumatic side shuttle escapement separates and presents one part at a time for the robot to collect.
