Step feeders are suitable for sorting of parts resembling screws, axes, needles. They are relatively easy to changeover for different parts. The hopper device is located at a suitable height ensuring parts could be loaded easily:
Parts reach the top due to the movement of the lifting plates. No additional feeding devices are required. A big part of the parts are already sorted during the transportation process.
Basic features:
- Control of feeding speed
- Easy changeover for different parts
- Automatic return of the parts
- Pre-sorting of parts
- The device could be adapted to similar part families
