FEEDER BOWL SYSTEMS
Feeder Bowl Solutions for Manufacturing
Efficient, reliable part feeding can be the foundation for any production system. QSI Automation specializes in designing and building vibratory feeder solutions that keep your production lines moving. With decades of expertise, our team delivers precision-engineered equipment tailored to your specific application needs.
Comprehensive Feeder System Solutions
QSI offers more than just feeder bowls—we deliver full-service solutions from concept to completion. Our process begins with understanding your unique manufacturing challenges and part requirements. From there, we design, build, and implement feeder systems that integrate seamlessly with your automation processes. And because production never stops, we also provide service and support to keep your equipment running at peak performance long after installation.
SERVICE DETAILS
Vibratory feeder bowls create movement of parts through an electromagnetic drive that provides vibration, causing the parts to move up a spiraling track and through orientation tooling around the inside and/or outside of the vibratory feeder bowl. Parts that have the correct orientation are allowed to pass through while those that do not return to the bowl to be recirculated or rejected.
Parts are discharged from feeder bowls into vibratory or gravity fed Inline tracks. The inline tracks are used to sort, feed, and queue parts in the automated feeding process.
Combined, our Hoppers, Feeder Bowls, and Inline Tracks ensure that parts are moved through the assembly process both quickly and efficiently.
Optional vibration monitoring ensures consistent feed rates even with varying levels of parts.
