weber: feeding systems

Sort - buffer - merge - transport

Our feed units provide our screw and mounting systems with sufficient fasteners within a very short cycle time. It is the right choice of sensors and controls associated individual components into a fully automatic feeding system. Deviations and errors are detected immediately and avoided disruptions in the entire system. Undisturbed feeding is a key to successful automatic assembly machines - with over 30,000 delivered screwdriver and handheld systems with automatic feeding; we know what we're talking about.

Vibration helical conveyor

For small parts and fasteners the Weber bowl feeder represents the optimal  solution in terms of adaptation, part size, flow rate, reliability and operating efficiency. Removable sound enclosure covers guarantee low noise emissions and rapid access to the unit. Select feeder bowl materials (plastic and aluminum), standard geometries and special inside coatings prevent the material being conveyed from damage, reduce noise generation and guarantee a long service life. “Intelligent” feeder vibration controls keep the conveyor in optimal working order and enable demandoriented control.

• Fasteners are poured into the bowl as bulk material and set in upward motion by the mechanical vibration of the bowl (microthrow principle).
• Sorting and separating the material being conveyed at the bowl exit via proven Weber technology.
• Universal use for small parts and connecting elements of all types
• Readiness and Conveying
• Sorting and Buffering
• Escapement and Merging
• Monitoring and Controlling

for the gentle way of feeding... 

The fasteners will be filled as bulk material into the hopper.
A lifting step separates some screws and deposits them onto the active rails at the top of the system, where they are moved along into the escapement area. On this linear rail the parts will be orientated and then singulated by an escapement and blown down a fed hose to the remote spindle.

• For parts with coatings, paint finishes or delicate surfaces
• high output
• Low vibration exit track - to avoid abrasion
• Low noise level
