CASE STUDY

17605: PROJECT FEEDING STEEL TUBES INTO PRESS

Feedall Model
Model 1500 Bi-Directional Orienting Conveyor w/3,000# Vibratory Metering Hopper, TC-38-84-3,000# Hydraulic Tub Dumper & GLH-3.5-4 Exit Conveyor

APPLICATION

Feed parts from a random loaded floor mounted hopper. The parts will then be metered from
a vibratory hopper on demand and spilled at random onto a bi-directional feed conveyor. The
parts will merge from the infeed conveyor lane onto the orienting conveyor lane and exit in a
continuous end-to-end stream to an automatic, air operated slug pusher device. The pusher
device will load one slug at a time into an air-operated rotary actuator equipped with a
pneumatic gripper. The rotary actuator will present the slug with axis vertical with the bottom
of the slug.
