This vibratory bowl feeder was designed to feed an automotive part. With a low feed rate and tight space requirements, we designed a parts feeding system that allowed our customer to pick the part up directly from the bowl.
Vibratory Feeder Bowl Feeds Parts with Two Orientations
The assembly operation required two parts being placed simultaneously with the bushing flanges facing away from each other, as shown here. This would normally require two part feeding systems: One feeding the part with the flange up, and another feeding the part with the flange down. We saved our customer the expense and space consumption of a second feed system by designing a single vibratory parts feeder bowl that discharged two lines of parts with one line on top of the other.
