1 . Descriptions:

Vibratory bowl feeders are intriguing equipment commonly found on production lines, setting them apart from other machinery. Unlike traditional equipment with detailed technical specifications, bowl feeders rely on a trial-and-error approach, employing touch and feel to achieve the desired component feeding, orientation, and feed-rate.

When a business presents a feeding requirement, they provide a sample component. We then utilize a test bowl that closely matches their specifications and conduct experiments until successful feeding is achieved. Only then can we shift our focus to orientation and increasing the feed-rate.

Vibratory bowl feeders are extensively utilized in various industries such as automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, and packaging. However, ensuring accurate component orientation has proven to be a time-consuming and challenging task for engineers. They often resort to mechanical solutions, investing hours in grinding metal to create catch points.

Fortunately, vision sensors offer an excellent alternative. These sensors can be rapidly configured to detect and reject incorrectly oriented components. Operating without the need for external triggers, vision sensors can identify misoriented parts at impressive rates of up to 6,000 parts per minute.

Apart from orienting parts, vision sensors provide additional valuable functions. They can verify the correctness of components, identify defective parts, and even count parts to monitor feed rates. This technology significantly enhances the efficiency and precision of vibratory bowl feeders in manufacturing processes.

3 . Principle of ​ Vibratory Bowl Feeder :

The concept of a vibratory feeder can be demonstrated through the pouring of sand into a funnel and gently tapping it to maintain a continuous flow. Regardless of size, vibratory feeders operate on this fundamental principle.

These feeders utilize gravity to pull dry materials downward and employ vibrations to move the material from side to side. Typically, only dry materials are used in these machines since they may not flow smoothly on their own and require assistance from vibrations.

In a vibratory feeder, a considerable amount of material is introduced through a cone-shaped opening at the top and flows out from the narrower bottom. A pill counter serves as a prime example of a vibratory feeder. In this case, a large quantity of pills is poured into the top opening of the machine. Gravity guides the pills downward, while vibrations ensure a seamless flow, preventing any obstructions or blockages within the feeder. Once the correct number of pills is achieved, the machine pauses and resumes its operation when a new bottle is prepared for automatic filling.
