Bowl feeder for segregating radiator valves
Elscint Automation has developed a special type of vibratory bowl feeder for segregating assembled and semi-assembled radiator valves thro
From this hopper the components when loaded will be unloaded into the tray of Elscint Linear Feeder, having some inclination.
This will allow the components to move into the Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder which has a level controller.
Thus, when adequate quantity of the components are lowered into the bowl, the Elscint Linear Feeder will be switched off.
Whenever the quantity in the bowl goes below a predetermined level, the Elscint Linear Feeder will be activated and loading of the components into the Elscint Vibratory Feeder Bowl will restart.
The components will move upwards on the track of the bowl and in the path they will be oriented according to the users requirement and only properly oriented components will be lowered into the metal magazine in front of the Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder.
Metal magazines, total 6 to 12 in number depending upon the component size are mounted on an indexing table, which is operated by Festo make pneumatics.
Two proximity switches are mounted to sense the component level onto the metal magazine.
When the components are filled up to the level of both the proximity switches then the Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder will be switched off and pneumatic solenoid having 230Volts AC powered coil will be operated and indexing table will be move to the next stage, bringing the empty magazine at the loading station.
At this point the Elscint Vibratory Bowl Feeder will start again and stacking operation will continue.
In case the components cannot be stacked properly due to their in built dimension, an Elscint Agitator Vibrator can be provided at the lower level, which has a right angular holder where the components will be resting while being stacked.
This Elscint Agitator Vibrator is timed to start and stop, which imparts the vibration to the stacked components.
Due to these vibrations the components, which are not stacked properly, are given rotary movement get properly stacked.
This system uses Elscint Vibratory Feeder Model 250 or 400, Elscint Linear Feeder Model I or II, Elscint Hopper Feeder, Elscint Indexing Table and Elscint Agitator Vibrator.
Such other custom built automation systems can also be manufactured according to user requirements using the above Elscint Products.
