Gravity tracks

Gravity tracks

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 available 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 accurately.
