An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sought to replace two outdated parts feeding systems and approached Bellco Feeders to redesign and replace their existing setup. The OEM required the new systems to seamlessly integrate with their current machinery without necessitating any modifications on their end.
The customer's primary requirement was for an O-ring parts feeding system with a footprint matching their previous systems. Additionally, they needed integration with their current machinery. An essential feature was the inclusion of a hopper system that would enable operators to leave the bowl unattended for up to 30 minutes continuously.
Bellco faced a significant challenge in designing a single bowl with a dual linear track. This track needed to align precisely with the current escapement, requiring precise height adjustment of the bowl
Bellco Feeders successfully developed a comprehensive system meeting all customer requirements. The delivered system comprised a bulk parts hopper, a vibratory feeder bowl, a vibrating dual linear track, and intelligent digital controllers.
