RNA Automation offers complete feeding and handling solutions, including escapements and nests designed to accurately position component parts for collection by the customer’s handling systems.
Part Escapements and Nests are used to separate individual components from a continuous line of parts exiting a linear feeder or conveyor.
They enable the precise release of correctly oriented parts at the right location and can be utilized in both manual and fully automated processes. Escapements and nests are available in various configurations. At RNA, our engineers collaborate closely with you and your team to identify and design the most effective solution for your specific application.

Parts are delivered to a fixed pickup point where a robotic arm or pick-and-place system can access and pick up each part, with another part immediately moving into position once one is removed.

Pneumatic escapements use pneumatic actuators to separate and present a component for collection, with sensors confirming the presence of a component in the pick position.
Electric escapements use electric actuators to separate and present components—typically in multiples—for collection by the customer’s handling unit.
Similar to pneumatic escapements, our electric escapements are available in several configurations, including multiple-pocket side shuttles and rotary actuator mechanisms, and can include additional features such as vision sensor orientation checks.
All RNA escapements and dead nests are developed and tested alongside the complete feed system they are supplied with to ensure proven mechanical function and reliability.
They can be provided with leads left looped, wired to a junction box for customer control, or integrated into a full PLC control system.
