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 […]

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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. […]
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: […]
