INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONHardware & Fasteners
01 / CONTEXT
Parts feeding challenges in this industry
Hardware components vary widely in weight, length, finish and tendency to interlock.
Screws, springs, pins and stampings can cross, bridge or build excessive pressure in the track.
The system must tolerate the industrial environment and provide access for removing out-of-spec parts and performing maintenance.
Autonomy, counting and rate must be coordinated with the packaging or assembly machine without overfeeding it.
