Case Study - Plastic Cap

 

About The Project

Bellco designed and manufactured this vibratory bowl feeding system to quickly, 75 parts per minute, orient and feed a cylindrical plastic cap from bulk.  Because of the speed required, Bellco also designed a long air-fed linear track to create an accumulating buffer of parts. At the end of the linear track was a custom parts escapement to present one part at a time to an automated machine assembly process.
