Operation Description: Components are bulk loaded into a special elevator hopper dosed into a centrifugal feeder. The Centrifugal feeder feeds the component end to end at random onto specially designed orientation rolls, the rolls counter rotate and are set at a pre-determined gap to suit the battery width. The battery has a small lip which catches in the rolls and hangs the component axis vertical. Due to counter rotation of the rolls the battery cannot jam, any unsorted batteries are rejected and recycled back into the system via a flighted conveyor. The batteries are then turned through 90 degrees via a gravity track and fed into the customer’s assembly machine via a rotating scalloped wheel.

Performance: 400 parts per minute rolling, with the open end all one way
