Tracking - Vibratory Straight Line, Belt, Air Conveyors and Airveyors
Tracking provides a buffer of pre-oriented parts between the vibrator parts feeder bowl and the assembly or processing machinery. This allows the vibratory parts feeder bowl to be turned off and on, on demand.
Tracking via vibratory straight line track is our most popular option. A workhorse designed to provide efficient part storage and transport in a very cost-effective manner. The vibratory straight line drive units we use to provide power for these tracks work on exactly the same principle as our vibratory parts feeder bowls.
In certain applications, belt tracks, air conveyor tracks, or airveyor tracks might make a more attractive option. Parts are carried from the vibratory parts feeder bowl, centrifugal feeder bowl, stepper feeder, or linear part feeder, to the machine by the action of a belt conveyor track or air conveyor, eliminating the noise inherent in the vibration of a regular vibratory straight line track. (If vibratory tracking is designed into your parts feeding package, optional sound enclosures are availble to reduce the noise level). This provides a very positive and reliable method to transfer specific families of parts from vibratory parts feeder bowls, centrifugal feeder bowls, stepper feeders, or linear parts feeders to your assembly or work stations.
We also provide "orienting roll" tracking to handle parts with very little dimensional differences. This design allows us to detect minute differences that are too critical to detect in an automatic vibratory feeder bowl, when sorting headed, round, tapered, cylindrical or other similar parts. It is also a very effective method to inspection and sort your parts accruately.
