1.   
Vibrating Parts Feeders
   
  A vibrating parts feeder consists of a bowl and a base unit.  The base unit contains an electromagnetic drive.  Within the bowl, parts are handled, moved, oriented, and made ready for discharge.  Our bowls are custom-designed to handle small parts of varying size, material, and shape.The use of vibratory parts feeders will convert monotonous manual tasks into automated operations that will dramatically decrease your operating costs while increasing the speed and accuracy of any production line requiring a continuous, single or multiple line feed of small parts.  Our vibratory parts feeders are rugged and designed to provide extra long service with little maintenance requirements due to the absence of wearing mechanical parts.
   
2.   
Supply Hoppers and Flow Switches
   
  Parts feeders can be equipped with an independently mounted supply hopper and flow switch.  Supply hoppers are used to provide bulk storage of parts to eliminate the need for frequent and costly manual loading.They also control the rate of supply of parts into the parts feeder bowl.

Flow switches automatically control the optimum level of parts in the bowl at all times.

   
3.   
Gravity Chutes
   
  Gravity chutes transport the oriented part from the bowl discharge to the usage point. Photo eyes/proximity switches are generally used to control the back-pressure of parts in the gravity chute thereby preventing parts from jamming in the bowl.

Gravity chutes can also be equipped with an escapement device which will release one part at a time upon signal.

   
4.   
Vibra Drives/Inlines
   
  Vibra Drives/Inlines provide an inexpensive, uncomplicated means of applying directional vibratory conveying movement of parts along cushioned horizontal tracks.
   
5.   
Vibrators
   
  Vibrators are primarily applied to bins, hoppers, and chutes to keep bulk materials and/or parts free flowing.  Several models and sizes are available in electromagnetic, electromechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic design.
