“…(Jiang et al, 2003) developed a custom simulation software for vibratory bowl feeders and validates the performance of a trap with varying operational parameters for rejecting wrongly oriented cuboids. In recent work (Stocker and Reinhart, 2016) the Bullet Physics Engine (Coumans, 2010) is used to model part behaviour in a vibratory feeder. Here they investigate the efficiency of a step mechanisms and the correlation between this efficiency, the height of the step and the length of the part.…”

Vibratory parts feeders with mechanical orienting devices are used extensively in the assembly automation industry. Even so, the design process is based on trial-and-error approaches and is largely manual. In this paper, a methodology is presented for automatic design of this type of feeder. The approach uses dynamic simulation for generating the necessary data for configuring a feeder with a sequence of mechanical orienting devices called traps, with the goal of reorienting all parts from a random to fixed orientation. Then, a fast algorithm for facilitating this configuration task automatically is developed from domain specific knowledge. Finally, the algorithm is validated on three industrial cases and its drawbacks and strengths are discussed in detail.

Automation has created an eminent need in the present trend of manufacturing industries to boost its throughput with reduced manual intervention and benefit in terms of good product quality, reduced scrape rate, and efficient usage of resources. Assembly process necessitates more perfection to achieve good quality products, which can only be possible by employing highly skilled and experienced operators which costs more and hence Automation is the best choice to mitigate this problem. The present work is an effort to upgrade the manual assembly station for spot welding process to assemble three sub-components called cup, fastener and mesh together through spot welding process with an automatic part handling mechanism, controlled by sensor-based Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The automated assembly station resulted in flaw less welded components with reduced cycle time, which enhanced the assembly process productivity from 2 parts/min to 6 parts/min.
