Method and apparatus for supplying parts.

摘要

One or more kinds of plenty scattered parts are successively fed out of an automatic feed unit (10). The successive parts are then conveyed at a high speed by a conveyer belt (26). Then the conveying belt (26) is automatically shifted down to a low speed when first parts detecting means (29) detects that a leading end of the successive parts being conveyed at the high speed has arrived at a forward end of the conveyer belt (26). The conveyer belt (26) is then automatically stopped temporarily when second parts detecting means (30) detects that the leading end of the successive parts being conveyed has fallen from a turn end of the conveyer belt (26) as shifted down to the low speed. <IMAGE>
