PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency and safety of continuous operation by automatically conducting a series of operations for detecting the inside and outside of a circular article to uniform the side thereof and turning the circular article to be positioned for the turning direction. CONSTITUTION:In a parts feeder 10, a lot of circular articles 1 are stored to be continuously fed out at need, and the inside and outside of the fed-out article is detected by an inside-outside detecting mechanism 11. A reversing mechanism 12 is adapted to reverse the circular article according to a detection result of the mechanism 11 to make the side of the article uniform, and the uniformly arranged articles are distributed to plural places by a distribution mechanism 14. Subsequently, in a dividing mechanism 15, the distributed circular articles are turned to be positioned for the turning direction, and the circular articles positioned for the uniform side and the turning direction are transported to a supplied position by a transport mechanism 16. Thus, the circular article can be automatically positioned for the uniform side and the turning direction. |
