Rotary Feeder
Rotary feeder is a type of automatic feeding mechanism that uses a turntable to guide the workpiece into the groove leading to the automatic assembly machine mechanism at high speed. Depending on the product, this type of turntable feeding can Supply from 100 – 500 products/minute.
The feed speed is adjusted up or down by accelerating/decelerating the turntable motor.
Rotary feeder is often used with products with simple shapes such as bottle caps, plastic parts with slim, easy-to-sort shapes to achieve fast feeding speeds that other mechanisms such as vibrating hoppers cannot. Application for automatic assembly, testing, and packaging machines.
For products whose shapes/characteristics are easily confused, the workpiece feeding rotary mechanism will combine with sensors such as: optical sensors, color sensors, laser distance sensors,… or use a camera to process images and identify the correct product orientation at the output to ensure 100% accuracy requirements. If the direction of the workpiece exits incorrectly, it can lead to damage to the machine structure, affecting the entire automatic machinery line.
Advantages of the Rotary Feeder:
– Easy to assemble and easy to use
– Low noise, low vibration, stable.
– Easy to maintain and upgrade.
