<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the parts feeding capacity of a vibrating type parts feeder for aligning and feeding cylindrical parts each having a smaller diameter at one end. <P>SOLUTION: The parts P are aligned in an attitude with one end of each facing forward in a conveying direction by an aligning mechanism 13 provided at an intermediate part of a conveying path 8 of an aligning and feeding trough 2, and the aligned parts P are conveyed in the same attitude by a chute 14. The attitudes of the parts P are identified by a cut-out mechanism 4 provided at an outlet of the conveying path 8, and the parts P are transferred to different positions according to the identified result. The parts P in the predetermined attitude are then fed to the following process, and the parts P not in the predetermined attitude are returned to the upstream side of the aligning mechanism 13. Consequently, the conveying path 8 of the chute 14 is hardly clogged with the parts, and most of the parts delivered from the chute 14 can be fed in the same attitude to the following process. The parts feeding capacity can thereby be improved in comparison with the prior art without needing a time-consuming parts reversing operation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
