2. • Introduction:- A parts feeder is a machine that
orients parts. In this presentation we present
a programmable parts feeder: a mechanism that can
be programmed to feed any planar polygonal part.
Parts feeder

3. Components of programmable
part feeder
• Feeding mechanism: A device that can orient parts
under software control.
• Planning algorithm: A method for transforming a
geomertrical part description into a programme for
the mechanism.

4. Mechanism
A device that can orient parts under software control. We
use a modified parallel-jaw gripper. The mechanism
requires one controlled degree of freedom to orient the
gripper, and one uncontrolled degree of freedom (such as
a pneumatic actuator) to open and close the jaws.

5. Advantages of programmable parts feeder
• The key advantage of a programmable parts feeder is
flexibility.
• Flexible manufacturing systems can be used for a
variety of products.
• Flexibility reduces the number of machines required
and lead time for manufacturing new products.
• A programmable parts feeder can be reprogrammed
rather than physically modified when part geometry
changes.

6. Conical bowl feeder

7. Conical bowl feeder
• Introduction:- Vibratory bowl feeders are used to
feed individual component parts for assembly on
industrial production line.
• They are used when bulk package of small
components must be fed into another machine one-
by-one, oriented in a particular direction.
• Vibratory feeders are self-contained systems,
comprising of a specially tooled bowl feeder that
orients the components.

8. Construction and mechanism
• The bowl has a helical track climbing the inside wall.
• By giving the bowl a circular vibratory motion, parts
dumped into the bowl will climb the helical track in
single file.
• As parts climb the track, they get orientated, and
deflect disoriented parts back into the center of the
bowl.

9. • They will gradually be shaken so that they are all aligned. They
thus leave the feeder's conveyor one-by-one, all in the same
orientation.
• This conveyor then leads directly to the following assembly or
packing machine.

10. Accessories
• Coating: Bowl feeder coatings minimise wear and
tear, reduces noise and damage to parts.
• Sound enclosure/cover: A foam-lined structure that
absorbs the noise created by the vibratory feeder.
• Base plates: Enable easy mounting of the drive unit
to the machine bed.
• Hopper: Large, bulk container that stores material
and regulates parts flow into the vibratory feeder
system.

11. Applications
• Vibratory feeders are utilized in many industries
including, pharmaceutical, automotive, electronic,
food, Fast Moving Consumable Goods (FMCG),
packaging and metal working industries.
• It also serves other industries such as glass, foundry,
steel, construction, recycling, pulp and paper, and
plastics.
• vibratory feeders offer a cost-effective alternative to
manual labour, saving manufacturer’s time and
labour costs.
