STAR TRACE Vibratory Bowl Feeder found extensive application for feeding automatic machine tools with separate blank and for the orientation for small blanks of the most complex configuration. The Vibration principle is employed for rectilinear travel of the blanks along a vibrating chute, for elevating the blanks along the helical ramp of a vertical vibratory conveyor with helical oscillation and for orienting blanks in vibratory –bowl feeders having single or multiple start helical track, or ramps, on the internal surface of a cylindrical bowl to which helical oscillations are imparted.
Under the action of the vibrations, the blanks are dispersed over the convex bottom of the bowl towards the walls where they enter the input end of the track along when they travel upward the orienting device allows only the properly oriented blanks to reach the delivery end of the track, all others are dislodged and drop back onto the bottom of the bowl.

Bowls have many distinct tooling features built into the basic bowl design, with tracks varying in width and shape to accommodate different types of components. These inherent features of the bowl are of great assistance, when bowl tooling is being developed to fulfill a specific tooling application.

All drive units are correctly engineered to give stable performance at high speed with minimum maintenance. Standard units are turned to give vibrations frequency of 100 cycles per second. Totally encapsulated type coils are used.

Every drive unit is supplied with separated control box, with which, it is possible to control the speed of the feeder infinitely. Standard units are suitable for electrical supply of 230 Volts, 50HZ.
