This 18-inch vibratory feeder system was designed to orient a plastic medical product component into a vertical position to be received into our customer assembly machine.
Slant Disc Feeder: Affordable, Cost-Effective, Space-Saving
Space-saving and affordable, the Slant Disc Feeder carries medical product into the assembly line at the rate of 5 PPM. The vertical Slant Disc saves space and can run at speeds from 5PPM to 60PPM.
V Belt Centrifugal Feeder for Electrical Covers
Centrifugal Feeder orients decorative electrical covers as they enter the assembly process with a gentle handling that protects the delicate material.
Centrifugal System for Medical Plunger and Barrel
Most barrel and plunger feed systems are relatively simple to tool as the products typically have features that allow the product to hang in gauge rollers quickly and easily. The one caveat to using this type of system is that, even though the tooling is simple, the units are required to be tilted at an angle of 10 or more degrees, to allow the product to move forward at a rapid pace. Limitations in the ceiling height required a creative solution that reduced the overall height without affecting performance.
Robotics Increase Output of Flexible Part Feeding Solutions
The Performance Feeders Flex-Feeding platform is a revolutionary system that integrates robotics with our standard feeding solutions to increase output and improve accuracy as products are fed into your production system. These systems are easily re-tooled to match your next generation of product, bringing a new level of flexibility to your assembly line and lowering the upfront costs of redesigning an older product line or introducing a new one.
Container Unscrambler for Medical Packaging
Our customer presented us a bottle with a geometric shape that presented several challenges during the feeding process. The tacky plastic material slowed the feed rate substantially and created high friction, which lowered the loading ratio. We designed acentrifugal solution that provided a 100% load ratio, resulting in higher feed rates at lower RPMs and allowing for a smaller system footprint which saved manufacturing floor space.
Medical Parts Vibratory Feed System with Optical Inspection
This vibratory feeder was designed to feed a plastic medical component into a machine assembling a medical testing product. While these parts were easy to pre-orient, the final orientation could not be obtained reliably mechanically so a vision system was used to verify proper orientation and reject product that did not meet the orientation criteria.
Vibratory Feeder with Rotary Inspection
This vibratory feed system includes a laser inspection station, a bowl level sensor, a track sensor, and a sorting indexer. Parts with an incorrect length are rejected while the correct parts are oriented threads-up in groups of 4.
High Speed Centrifugal System Feeds Medical Product
Featuring a vertical elevating prefeeder and high speed gravity roller tracks, this centrifugal feed system was developed to feed and orient medical product in excess of 800 ppm and built to run 24/7 in a continuous production environment, while using the smallest footprint possible and preserving the integrity of the parts being fed.
Count and Batch Packaging Conveyor Belt-Vibratory Bowl System
This custom feed system featured a vibratory bowl, designed to orient various sizes of bearing cages while also sorting and rejecting mixed product, and a count and batch conveyor which counted a pre-set number of selected product into the customer’s bulk packaging. The system required a vibratory feeder bowl with tooling designed for multiple products, a custom conveyor tooled to count product at its exit, a roller conveyor to stage the customer’s packaging, and programmable counting electronics to allow the customer to pre-set a package quantity which varied from product to product.
