Once you have a part don’t let it go!

Part orientation is a key to any reliable piece of automation.  There are multiple techniques used to do this such as:

  • Centrifugal bowls
  • Vibratory bowls
  • Vision guided robotics
  • Operators stationed to load manually
  • Press-side mold part extraction

Maintaining orientation through the process is a necessity.  Here are some variables that can jeopardize part orientation:

  • Gravity
    • Chutes
    • Tracks
    • Drops
  • Air
    • Assist
    • Blast
  • Over-handling
  • Pucks

We evaluate and design these risks out of our projects to maintain the integrity of part orientation.
