In manufacturing automation, material handling plays a significant role. Material handling is the process of loading, placing or manipulating material. The handling of materials is to be performed efficiently, safely, accurately in a timely manner so that the right parts arrive in right quantities to the right locations, at low cost and without damage. The material handling devices are generally designed around standard production machinery and integrated with specially made feeders. In assembly and processing operations, there is a need for the parts to be presented in a preferred orientation, which is achieved using part feeders. A perfect example of feeders is vibratory feeders. Vibratory feeders are commonly used in industries for sorting and orienting parts before assembly. In this paper, a survey of literature regarding design and development of part feeders is discussed. The survey includes sensorless vibratory feeders to vision based flexible part feeders.

The material handling is the art of moving, orienting, packing and storing the part. Industrial feeders are used to facilitate the operations by feeding the parts in a specific quantity and at a perfect orientation. It is a tedious task to obtain a particular part orientation, at the assembly station, in a short lead time. To overcome this problem, part feeders are used to segregate and orient parts prior to packing. The natural resting orientation of the part is the orientation in which the part rests on a horizontal hard surface, when dropped from a height. The most probable natural resting orientation of the part has to be identified which helps in the effective design of feeder and orienting devices. In this paper, an attempt was made to study the effect of initial orientation from different heights on natural resting orientation. Drop test was conducted at different heights with each initial orientation. The favorable orientation of the part (or) the most probable natural resting orientation is identified using drop test. In this work, most probable natural resting orientation of a typical asymmetric component, brake pad, is identified.
