Automatic Parts Feeding Systems

Custom Parts Feeders
for Your Production Line

Every part. In the right position.

We design automatic parts feeding systems to orient, separate and deliver components
in the position and at the speed required by your industrial process.

From Bulk Supply to Precisely Oriented Parts

Automatic parts feeding prepares each component by separating and orienting it before delivering it to the next operation on the production line.

Vibratory Feeding

Vibratory Feeders Designed
Around Each Part

Vibratory bowl feeders receive bulk parts and guide them along a specially designed track that selects, separates and orients each component before delivering it to the next stage of the process.

The geometry, material and behaviour of each component determine the feeder design. At RCA Robotics, we assess every application to develop a solution tailored to the characteristics of the parts and their integration into the production line.

A Complete System

Store. Orient. Deliver

Each feeding system is configured according to the specific requirements of the application and can incorporate different components:

  • Feed hopper: stores and replenishes parts in the feeder.
  • Vibratory bowl feeder: separates and orients components using a track designed specifically for each part.
  • Linear feeder: conveys oriented parts to the delivery point.
  • Sensors and control systems: regulate the supply according to material levels and track occupancy.
Tailored to Every Application

Materials and Finishes for Every Component

Vibratory bowls can be manufactured from stainless steel, aluminium or nylon, with coatings selected according to the characteristics and requirements of each application.

These options allow us to adapt contact surfaces, improve part movement or protect components throughout the feeding process.

Materials, coatings and output speed are specified individually for each project.

A Wide Variety of Components

Small Parts. Different Requirements

Caps, springs, nuts, O-rings and plastic gears. Each component has its own geometry and behaviour, requiring a specific feeding and orientation system.

Automation starts with a properly positioned part.

A feeding system tailored to each component helps maintain a continuous supply and ensures smooth production operations.

How We Work

A Tailored Process

We study your parts and production line requirements to develop a customised feeding and positioning system.

1

Tell Us What You Need

Let us know which parts you use, the required orientation and your production rate.

2

Part Assessment

We review 3D files and physical samples to determine the most suitable feeding system.

3

Custom
Design

We define a solution that positions your parts exactly as required by the next stage of the process.

4

Manufacturing and Testing

We manufacture the customised equipment and carry out tests using your parts to verify its performance.

5

Delivery and Integration

We help integrate the feeder into your production line and provide technical support.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parts Feeding Systems

What information do you need to assess my application?

We need details about the part or its technical drawings, dimensions, material, final orientation and required production rate. It is also important to understand the available space and how the component needs to be delivered to the next machine.

What feeding speed can the system achieve?

This depends on the part geometry, its behaviour and the required orientation. The output rate is assessed and validated individually for each application.

Can auxiliary equipment be integrated?

Yes. Depending on the process requirements, the system can incorporate hoppers, elevators, linear feeders, sensors, supports and acoustic enclosures.

Can the same feeder handle any type of part?

The orientation system is designed for a specific part or family of parts. If you need to handle different formats, we assess their compatibility and the modifications required to accommodate them.
