This system was created as an automation solution to our customer's O-ring feeding needs. Prior to this system, it was a manual process. The feeder system includes a vibratory hopper, bowl and 5 changeable tracks for different sizes of O-rings. The control is also connected to 2 sensors: one that will turn the hopper on (when the parts level in the bowl gets low) and off (when it has released enough parts to run for a while) and one sensor that will turn the bowl off when the track is full of O-rings and back on again when it is low on parts. This system is shown with our parts counter and part feeding regulator which are used for runoff testing. It was modified to mimic the way the customer's equipment will take the parts and is set at the customer's required ppm speed.
