Product detail
Step feeder
Reliatronic Step Feeders are available in both Right Hand, (RH) and Left Hand, (LH) configurations as well as various heights and step sizes to feed and orient a wide variety of parts. Step feeders are aptly named as you may have guessed because they feed bulk parts from a hopper bin where they are carried up to the tooling feature by a combination of moving and stationary reciprocating plates, shelves or "Steps".
Variable speed or fixed drive, connected to the plates, controls the speed at which a single layer of parts indexes up to the orientation feature to select the parts in the proper orientation. The drive method of the steps can be either electric or pneumatic. Once oriented the parts then are stored in a conveyor or vibratory inline track system to the machine station.
The linear section performs the high tolerance selection process of the parts to their required orientation. The parts that aren't oriented 100%, are the gently returned to the hopper bin, via a gravity chute or powered conveyor, where they are "stepped" up the feeder once again. Depending on your specific application materials used can be Stainless Steel, Tool Steel, Aluminum, and even plastics like Delrin or UHMW.
