Escapements and Nests
RNA Automation offer complete feeding and handling solutions including escapements and nests to accurately position component parts for collection by the customer’s handling units.
Part Escapements from RNA Feeders
1. Static Nests or Dead Nests
1/7
Static Nests or Dead Nests
Parts are delivered to a static pickup point where a robotic arm or a pick and place system can access and pick the part up, and then another part immediately fills the vacancy once a part is removed.

Pneumatic Escapements
Pneumatic escapements use pneumatic actuators to singulate and present a component for collection, with sensors used to confirm the presence of a component in the pick position.

Pneumatic Escapements - Tic-Toc
Pneumatic escapement types include Blow Feed Systems, Tic-Toc Mechanisms, Side Shuttle and Rotary Actuator Mechanisms.
Additional features can be added to the escapement such as vision sensors to carry out orientation checks.

Electric Escapements
Electric escapements utilise electric actuators to singulate 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 forms including multiple pocket side shuttles and rotary actuator mechanisms, and cad feature additional features such as vision sensor orientation checks.

Rotary Table
Rotary tables can be used to accept parts that are indexed to round to the pick positions.

Control
All RNA escapements and dead nests are developed and tested in conjunction with the full feed system that they are being provided with to prove their mechanical function and reliability.
They can be supplied with leads left looped or wired to a junction box for customer control, or controlled by a full PLC control system.
