Assignment parts feeder
- 1. Assignment Topic:- Parts feeder submitted by:- Ilyas hussain
- 2. • Introduction:- A parts feeder is a machine that orients parts. In this presentation we present a programmable parts feeder: a mechanism that can be programmed to feed any planar polygonal part. Parts feeder
- 3. Components of programmable part feeder • Feeding mechanism: A device that can orient parts under software control. • Planning algorithm: A method for transforming a geomertrical part description into a programme for the mechanism.
- 4. Mechanism A device that can orient parts under software control. We use a modified parallel-jaw gripper. The mechanism requires one controlled degree of freedom to orient the gripper, and one uncontrolled degree of freedom (such as a pneumatic actuator) to open and close the jaws.
- 5. Advantages of programmable parts feeder • The key advantage of a programmable parts feeder is flexibility. • Flexible manufacturing systems can be used for a variety of products. • Flexibility reduces the number of machines required and lead time for manufacturing new products. • A programmable parts feeder can be reprogrammed rather than physically modified when part geometry changes.
- 7. Conical bowl feeder • Introduction:- Vibratory bowl feeders are used to feed individual component parts for assembly on industrial production line. • They are used when bulk package of small components must be fed into another machine one- by-one, oriented in a particular direction. • Vibratory feeders are self-contained systems, comprising of a specially tooled bowl feeder that orients the components.
- 8. Construction and mechanism • The bowl has a helical track climbing the inside wall. • By giving the bowl a circular vibratory motion, parts dumped into the bowl will climb the helical track in single file. • As parts climb the track, they get orientated, and deflect disoriented parts back into the center of the bowl.
- 9. • They will gradually be shaken so that they are all aligned. They thus leave the feeder's conveyor one-by-one, all in the same orientation. • This conveyor then leads directly to the following assembly or packing machine.
- 10. Accessories • Coating: Bowl feeder coatings minimise wear and tear, reduces noise and damage to parts. • Sound enclosure/cover: A foam-lined structure that absorbs the noise created by the vibratory feeder. • Base plates: Enable easy mounting of the drive unit to the machine bed. • Hopper: Large, bulk container that stores material and regulates parts flow into the vibratory feeder system.
- 11. Applications • Vibratory feeders are utilized in many industries including, pharmaceutical, automotive, electronic, food, Fast Moving Consumable Goods (FMCG), packaging and metal working industries. • It also serves other industries such as glass, foundry, steel, construction, recycling, pulp and paper, and plastics. • vibratory feeders offer a cost-effective alternative to manual labour, saving manufacturer’s time and labour costs.
