PARTS FEEDER

摘要

TITLE OF THE INVENTION PARTS FEEDER A parts feeder includes a stock unit containing a plurality of magazine units arranged side by side and each storing a stach of magazines accommodating an array of parts, and a supply unit for supporting magazines delivered respectively from the magazine units in the stock unit. Parts can be supplied, one at a time, from any of the magazines in the supply unit. The supply unit is movable independently of the stock unit. When any magazine unit runs short of magazines, such a magazine unit can be supplied with new magazines loaded with parts without shutdown of the parts feeder.
