Trap Design for Vibratory Bowl Feeders
The vibratory bowl feeder is the oldest and still most common approach to the automated feeding (orienting) of industrial parts. In this paper we consider a class of vibratory bowl filters that can be described by removing polygonal sections from the track; we refer to this class of filters as traps. For an n-sided polygonal part and an m-sided polygonal trap, we give an O(nm log n) algorithm t...

Programmable vector elds can be used to control a variety of exible planar parts feeders. These devices can exploit exotic actuation technologies such as arrayed, massively-parallel micro-fabricated motion pixels or transversely vibrating (macroscopic) plates. These new automation designs promise great exibility, speed, and dexterity|we believe they may be employed to orient, singulate, sort, f...
متن کاملA comparison of real and simulated designs for vibratory parts feeding
The design of industrial parts feeders is a long, trial-anderror process that can take months – even for the design of feeders that orient only one type of part. This paper describes the use of dynamic simulation to expedite the design and prototyping of parts feeders. We give probabilistic descriptions of vibratory parts feeding behavior, and we present a comparison between simulated design ex...
متن کاملGeometric design of part feeders
Preface This thesis considers problems derived from industrial engineering, and treats them in a rather theoretical setting, called ªcomputational geometryº. This work has been carried out within the research group of Mark Overmars, which is centered around applied algorithms, i.e. solving problems that are inspired by practical implications. My ®rst introduction to computational geometry was v...
