As the
demands of industry are
constantly changing, VTR is
using its ingenuity to
constantly evolve and
provide our customers with
better, more practical and
innovative products.
The
Step
Feeder Unit has been a
functional component of
assembly automation in
Europe for quite some time
now and recent developments
in the last decade have made
them readily accessible in
North America. VTR has taken
the countless years of parts
feeding experience and
blended it with the new
technology to provide a
cutting edge feed system.
The step
feeder is loaded by a
stand-alone singulating
hopper. The inline feeder
uses an off-set cam-driven
system which eliminates the
use of electro-magnets
altogether. This has helped
eliminate the noise that is
a by-product of vibratory
parts feeding. It is not
uncommon to have a step
feeder unit running quietly
at under 70 dBA while
producing a high feed rate.
That’s quieter than most
people speak!
