The manufacturing of a step feeder focuses on creating a precise, reliable, and linear feeding mechanism tailored to specific parts. Part Analysis and Hopper Design Analysis: Precisely measure the part and analyze its behavior when stacked to design a hopper that prevents jamming and misorientation. Hopper Design: The hopper is custom-designed to match the part’s dimensions, ensuring stable feeding. Pusher and Pawl Mechanism Design Pusher/Pawl Shape: The pusher is shaped to match the part’s profile for smooth and stable pushing. Stroke Calculation: The pusher’s stroke is calculated to ensure one part is fed per cycle. Drive and Transmission System Selection Drive Methods: Pneumatic: Uses a cylinder. It’s cost-effective and simple. […]
