Automotive

Automation Devices is an organization focused on engineering solutions for assembly automation and parts-feeding.  Our expertise combined with many years of experience has enabled us to create productivity-improving solutions for a wide range of industries, including automotive, packaging and general manufacturing.

Whether you want us to modify an existing system or design and manufacture a new assembly automation and parts-feeding solution, we have the technical staff, engineering tools, and an integrated manufacturing facility to create what you need.

We look beyond your requirements to see how we can enhance your process and increase productivity through innovative designs.  This has lead our customers to depend on us for delivering unique and effective systems.

Bowl Feeders

We work very closely with our customers engineering group to design and build a feeding system that offers reliability and simplicity in design either by utilizing conventional vibratory feeding equipment such as vibratory bowl feeders and inline feeders, or by non conventional methods such as orienting hopper elevators. Our focus is on finding the most economical and reliable means of delivering the correctly oriented parts to your assembly process.

Feeder Bowls

For parts requiring gentle orientation, vibratory systems are your solution. Pulsating action in our custom designed bowls allow parts to travel upwards on a spiral track towards an ejection point. Depending on their orientation, they will either pass by tooling or fall back into the bowl.

Assembly Solutions
 

When there are no off-the-shelf solutions to your assembly needs, give us a call. Our expertise combined with over 40 years of experience has enabled us to create productivity-improving solutions for a wide range of industries, including automotive, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, cosmetic, and general manufacturing. Whether you need clips inserted, holes tapped, bolts fastened, caps assembled, tape applied, or whatever the application, we most likely have tackled something similar and are ready to provide you with a concept and quotation.

 Step Feeders

This type of feeder is ideal for long cylindrical parts, such as bolts or rods.  Parts are loaded into a hopper bin. Every other step is mechanically driven up and down, bringing parts to the stationary steps. In cases where multiple tracks must supply parts in a certain orientation, the parts will typically flood onto a long vibratory pan which transitions into several tracks. Over flow parts are able to fall off and slide back to the hopper bin. Step feeders are quiet and able to elevate parts, eliminating the need for a hopper elevator.
