FAQ:
What types of parts are best suited for the step feeder?
The step feeder is ideal for round, cylindrical, or spherical parts such as springs, tubes, washers, and nuts. Metals are preferred due to low noise, but rigid plastics or composites can also be used.
How does the step feeder handle part orientation?
Parts are lifted from the hopper bin by the step mechanism and descend onto a linear feeder for final orientation. Misoriented parts are ejected and can be redirected back into the bin via gravity slide, air track, or conveyor systems.
What are the maintenance requirements for the step feeder?
The step feeder is designed for durability with minimal maintenance needs, thanks to its no-vibration design and robust construction, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced downtime.
