Products Suitable for Use with Flexible Feeders

Flexible feeders excel in applications requiring high flexibility and gentle handling. They are ideal for: Tangle-Prone and Delicate Parts This is the primary strength of flexible feeders, solving key pain points of vibratory bowls. Examples: All types of springs O-rings, seals Flexible wires, cables Thin-walled, precision metal/plastic parts Reason: Parts are freely scattered, eliminating forced friction and impact […]

What is the Principle of a Centrifugal Feeder?

The working principle of a centrifugal feeder can be summarized in the following core steps: Rotation Generates Centrifugal Force Process: Parts are loaded into a stationary outer bowl. A motor-driven rotating disc at the center spins. Friction between the disc and the parts causes them to move. Core Principle: The rotation generates strong centrifugal force, which pushes the […]

What is the Principle of a Flexible Feeder?

The working principle of a flexible feeder can be summarized in three core steps: Random Scattering Process: Bulk, unordered parts are poured onto a tray on top of a vibratory platform. The platform vibrates, causing parts to move randomly and disperse across the tray. Vision Recognition Process: An industrial camera above the tray captures an image. […]

What is the Principle of a Step Feeder?

The working principle of a step feeder can be summarized in three core steps, forming a typical “push-return-wait” cycle: Reset and Loading Process: The pusher is in its retracted home position. Parts in the hopper fall by gravity to fill the space in front of the pusher. Purpose: Prepares parts for the next feeding cycle. Advancing and […]

How to Connect a Vibratory Bowl to a PLC?

The connection forms a control loop: the PLC commands the bowl, and sensors provide feedback. Hardware Connection Power Connection Description: The bowl requires a power source. This is controlled indirectly via a relay. Wiring: Connect bowl power to the relay’s output contacts. Connect one side of the relay coil to a DC power supply. Connect the other […]

Types of Assembly Machines

Assembly machines encompass a broad range of equipment. Here are the primary classifications: Classified by Degree of Automation Manual Assembly Workstations Description: Operators perform all assembly tasks, possibly with the aid of tooling and part-presentation fixtures. Characteristics: Highest flexibility, lowest initial cost, but efficiency and quality depend on the operator. Semi-Automatic Assembly Machines Description: The […]

Pain Points of Assembly Machines

High Initial Investment Description: The design, manufacturing, and debugging of a custom automated assembly machine involve significant costs. Pain Point: A major barrier for small and medium-sized enterprises, with a long return on investment period. Poor Flexibility and Difficult Changeover Description: Dedicated assembly machines are built for specific products. Retrofitting them for new models is […]

Structure of an Assembly Machine

A typical automated assembly machine consists of the following major modular structures: Machine Frame and Safety Guarding Description: The foundational skeleton, made from aluminum profiles or steel. It provides a rigid mounting platform. Enclosed by guards with safety interlocks. Function: Ensures rigidity, contains noise, and protects operators. Feeding and Positioning System Description: Responsible for delivering components to the assembly station. […]

Functions of Assembly Machines

The core functions of an assembly machine are to replace or assist human labor in product assembly with superior consistency, efficiency, and reliability. Automated Feeding and Handling Description: Automatically retrieves components from bulk storage and transports them to the precise assembly location using feeders, robots, or conveyors. Function: Enables continuous flow and reduces manual handling. […]

Benefits of Coating a Vibratory Bowl

Significantly Reduces Friction Description: Coatings like Teflon create an extremely smooth, low-friction surface. Benefits: Parts slide more easily, reducing resistance and potentially increasing feed speed. Helps prevent lightweight parts from stalling due to high friction. Effectively Prevents Part Scratching Description: The coating forms a protective, softer layer between the metal track and the parts. Benefits: […]
