Abstract:
Abstract In this work, a miniature mobile vibratory parts feeder is presented. This feeder is designed to reorient, singulate, and position parts by exploiting the horizontal vibration capabilities of a recently developed closed-loop planar motor. The actuators used for generating the vibrations are also capable of large planar motions, allowing the feeder to present parts to multiple overhead robots. It is designed with a minimum of part-specific features, allowing different parts to be fed with only software changes. The basic feed principle is presented and demonstrated experimentally. Although a complete prototype has not yet been fabricated, a model for the motion of parts on the complete feeder is derived and simulation results are presented that indicate successful operation. 1
