Feeding of Ceramic Rings for Vision Inspection
Published on : Tuesday 17-12-2019
The system could achieve a speed between 100 parts per minute (for the dia 70 mm rings) and 300 parts per minute (for the dia 25 mm rings).
Elscint Automation recently completed a project where the requirement was to feed Ceramic Rings having diameters ranging from dia 20 mm to dia 75 mm and having thickness from 4 mm to 12 mm at a very high speed. The rings were to be fed to on a belt conveyor for vision inspection at a high speed. A gap between two rings was required for proper checking by the camera. Hence, Elscint proposed a large high speed vibratory bowl feeder, Model 630 with a bowl having diameter 1100 mm. Ahead of the bowl feeder a 1000 mm length x 200 mm width high speed conveyor was placed. Further air jets and bins were placed at required positions on the conveyor to ensure that the incorrect parts were removed from the conveyor.
Elscint Automation provided the complete solution except the vision camera, which the customer mounted himself. The system could achieve a speed between 100 parts per minute (for the dia 70 mm rings) and 300 parts per minute (for the dia 25 mm rings). The complete system was completed and supplied in less than 5 weeks from receipt of the order.
Coincidentally, both are about large bowl feeders, each more than a metre in diameter. The first is about a bowl feeder manufactured for ceramic rings for vision inspection. While the second one is about a vibratory bowl feeder for counting purpose.
