Resonant vibration generators, such as vibratory feeders or ultrasonic sonotrodes, are often
employed in manufacturing to generate harmonic vibrations with suitable amplitude, spatial …

In this paper, the interactions of a translational vibratory feeder and the parts in the hop and
the hop-sliding regimes are studied by means of an improved multi-term incremental …

The motion of a part on a curved surface mounted upon a linear vibratory feeder is of great
importance in mass production. In this article, the conveying surface or track is modelled by …

In this study, the repeated discontinuous friction between granular material and contact
platform and structural nonlinearity of inclined vibration platform giving rise to the vibration …

One of the most challenging tasks in automating the design of assembly systems is to
automate the feeding process, which consists of singulating parts arriving in bulk, recovering …

In the automotive industry, efficient handling of small and irregular components is imperative
for production optimization. Traditional methods involving labor or robotic systems can lead …

Linear vibratory feeders and vibratory bowl feeders are widely used as part feeders in mass
production industries. Making the helical track of the bowl feeder requires special tooling …

The use of aluminum and its alloys has grown dramatically due to the demand for increased
performance and fuel economy. Cast aluminum alloys are lightweight and can be cast into …

Linear part feeder is used in assembly automation to arrange and orient the parts for
assembly, loading, packing, etc. For designing the trap, the natural resting orientation or …

Presenting the parts to the workstation in the required position is an important issue in the
automated manufacturing system. For a long time, part feeders have been used in the …
