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.
