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 trap developed by Udhayakumar et al [3] had a fixed track width and hence was capable of handling parts with specific width only (Figure 3). Since, the trap width was fixed, parts with different sizes were not able to pass through the trap.…”

“…Berretty et al [2] discussed a sequence of mechanical devices such as wiper blades, grooves to filter polygonal parts on a track. They termed this as 'traps', which either reject the disoriented parts or reorient the parts to desired orientation.A trap based part feeding system for handling brakeliner parts was developed by Udhayakumar et al [3]. The working of the trap (Figure 1) is as follows:…”

<p>A part feeder intakes identical parts of arbitrary orientation and provides output in uniform orientation. A flexible feeder is capable of handling parts of several sizes. The two important modules of a flexible part feeder are (i) identification of part (ii) adjustments to accommodate the incoming part. This paper aims at first module i.e. developing a low cost part identification system using two proximity sensors and thereby eliminating the use of costlier vision systems. The proposed part identification system using two capacitive type proximity sensors was effective in identifying the size of incoming parts and the efficiency of the system was around 84.6%.</p>

“…In the second step, the parts that do not rest in the favorable orientation are reoriented by blades, 15 fences 16 and other reorienting structures also known as traps. 3,[17][18][19][20] Besides conventional traps which are open loop systems, vision based techniques were developed to identify part orientation and the location, to take corrective action. 21 Also, a vision based technique was developed 22 incorporating a Prey Capture methodology to predict the moving object's position.…”

The motion of a part on a curved surface mounted upon a linear vibratory feeder is of great importance in mass production. In this article, the conveying surface or track is modelled by a bilinear surface inclined to all axes with the curvature varying throughout the surface. An experimental test rig is fabricated to study the part motion on the feeder surface. Dynamics of the part on the surface is derived and the path traced by the part is obtained numerically. The numeric model closely correlates with experimental results. Based on the control parameters two distinct regimes—slide and hop—are presented, highlighting their relation to frequency and amplitude of vibration of the feeder.
