A part supply step feeder or flighted belt conveyor lifts parts from a hopper in a metered fashion to a transfer area, and there supplies parts to a vibratory feeder, which carries the parts from the transfer area through orientation features to an output end. If a part does not achieve the correct orientation before reaching the output end, then at some point it is rejected, passively or actively, preferably back to the part supply hopper, by gravity or by a conveyor, for example.
