| | Aug 17, 2011 — Elscint Automation, the leading vibratory bowl feeder manufacturer, recently manufactured a special small vibratory bowl feeder for feeding of thin silver contacts. The size of the silver contacts was 4 mm x 3.2 mm and the thickness was only 0.40 mm. Elscint used a very small vibratory bowl feeder having a bowl of diameter 100 mm. The problem in case of such thin parts is that they tend to overlap, especially at the outlet chute.
Elscint solved this problem by ensuring that any parts coming over one another were re-circulated back into the bowl. Further the customer required the outlet chute at an angle of 35 degrees, this too was achieved in the specially designed outlet track. Further a small X-Y table with a 15 mm adjustment on each side and a small height adjustment stand having a (+/-) 50 mm adjustment on both sides was provided. The height adjustment stand provided is a standard one which is having a modular design. Due to these standard parts, ordering a vibratory bowl feeder from Elscint becomes very easy and helpful solution for machine builders as well as end users. | |
