Vibratory Feeder System with Camera Vision Monitors Parts Orientation

The versatile outside-tooled vibratory feeder bowl is the foundation of this part feeding solution designed to orient bolt blanks for our customer, a manufacturer of fastening products.

Vibratory bowl orients bolt blanks into a horizontal position with the small end leading.

The system design integrates the customer’s part storage bin to supply the stainless-steel vibratory bowl with bulk parts. The bowl orients the bolt blanks into a horizontal position with the small end leading.

Vision system verifies that each bolt blank is in the required position before discharging the bolt into the vibratory bowl for recirculation.

The vision system verifies that each bolt blank is in the required position. Ejected by a pneumatic solenoid valve, misoriented parts discharge back into the bowl for recirculation.

Properly oriented bolt blanks are released into the tooled belt conveyor powered by an end drive motor.

A C-track mounted at the end of the conveyor delivers the parts to the customer’s downstream operation at 40 parts per minute.
