Feed unit for components - has vibratory feeder with input provided from inclined transfer unit

摘要

Small components, e.g. in the form of cylindrical pins (2), are transferred from a magazine unit (3) to a workstation. Transfer is provided in a horizontal direction by a vibratory feeder (4). Input to the horizontal feeder is provided by an inclined unit (7) that receives components in sequence. The unit has a drive motor (11) that allows a reciprocating feed action along the inclined axis of the unit (2). ADVANTAGE - Simple construction, high reliability.
