PLEASE CONTACT US TO DISCUSS YOU APPLICATION

Mechanisms developed to accept parts tracked from vibratory or mechanical part handling systems including centrifugal parts feeders, linear parts feeders, stepper feeders, or vibratory bowl feeders, are offered to provide our customers with complete turnkey solutions.  VPI-4 Isolator Mechanisms provide for a low cost yet reliable method of isolating parts. The VPI Part Isolator has been tested under actual operating conditions with over three million cycles, and showed only negligible wear. Availble as untooled, or tooled, our tooled isolator mechanisms are supplied with proximity switches for cycle detection. VPI Isolators offer the flexibilty of being mounted in any position, using the main body as a mounting surface. These units are available in standard stroke of 3/4" vertical and 3-7/8" horizontal. Additional horizontal and vertical strokes may be quoted on request.

Our goal is to put ourselves in the place of our customer when concepting mechanisms by focusing on economics and simplicity.  With this in mind, the approach we take always involves reassessing your production conditions.

From the concept of a screw escapement to the design of a complete Lean Manufacturing Cells and automatic screwdriver systems, Vibrotrac Automatic Screwdriver Division will provide you with automatic screwdrivers or nut runners designed and manufactured to the highest quality within your required timeframe and budgetary guidelines. By utilizing our design capabilities, manufacturing expertise, and stringent quality control standards you will quickly realize that you made the best decision to acheive your automatic screwdriver or nut runner requirements.  With our Automatic Screwdriver Division, your needs are covered; no need to buy an automatic screwdriver here, a vibratory feeder bowl over there, controls from yet another supplier, and the automation to make it work from another. We're not just integrators; we're creating your screw escapement system from the ground up. 

ESCAPEMENT & PLACEMENT MECHANISMS

Mechanisms for escapement and placement are custom-designed modular components that will accurately position parts tracked from our centrifugal parts feeder, linear parts feeders, stepper feeders, or vibratory bowl feeders, for your automated assembly operation. Standard escapements and isolators are adaptable to your part size and tooling requirements.

ISOLATORS (I)

Mechanisms for isolation and positioning of your parts tracked from our centrifugal parts feeders, linear parts feeders, stepper feeders, or vibratory bowl feeders , provides for a dependable, low cost solution which mechanically escapes parts from centrigugal, linear, or vibratory feeder bowl systems one at a time to a work station or placement mechanism.

CUSTOM DESIGN DEVICES (CDO)

Mechanisms desgned for the purpose of escaping and blowing of your fasteners tracked from Vibrotrac's centrifugal parts feeders, linear parts feeders, stepper feeders, Polycast vibratory feeder bowls, (or bowl feeders), use standard componentry where possible to meet your specific needs. Other examples of customized devices include multitrack escapements, escape and blow devices and single-station assembly mechanisms.

ESCAPE AND BLOW MECHANISMS

Vibrotrac mechansims include a complete line of escape and blow mechanisms, wiplacement and assembly devices designed to accept fasteners tracked from centrifugal parts feeder bowls, linear parts feeders, stepper feeders, vibratory bowl feeders, and Polycast feeder bowls.  (Shown at the right is a standard tooled screw escapement mechanism custom tooled to accept headed parts from a Polycast feeder bowl and vibratory straighl line combination).  This concept is most generally used to escape and blow screws an automatic screwdriver or placement mechanism.    

PART ASSEMBLY MECHANISMS

Mechanisms that accept parts tracked from our centrifugal parts feeders, linear parts feeders, stepper feeders, or vibratory bowl feeders are custom designed to assemble parts at a single station.  Once assembled, inspect devices are applied to assure a complete assembly was made every time.  Check out Vibromatic to learn more about part handling and assembly mechanisms.
