Spring Feeder Systems
The automatic spring separator is designed to detangle intertwined springs in order to use the detangled springs in the next process or to dispense the springs for the next device respectively.
Feeding springs with open spring ends requires special attention. This type of spring is – if filled in as bulk material in a stockpiling hopper – tend to tangle up and therefore useless for the following process. By using an automatic spring separator within the feeding process, it becomes possible to feed the springs individually to the next stage of the process.
Sorting Features
To accommodate the wide range of spring types and sizes utilized in the industry today, Novo Precision offers spring sorting devices with the following features:
- Multiple styles and configurations
- Spring separating rates as fast as 3,600 ppm
- Spring OD up to .196” (5 mm)
- Spring lengths up to .788” (20 mm)
- 115V or 230V power supply
- Up to six separate delivery points for separating springs
Features of this springs feeding system
A horizontal hopper is filled homogeneously. From here, a controlled amount of springs runs over a gate and into the vibratory bowl feeder underneath. Then, the springs are first transported upward over the spirals where they are pre sorted, and finally reach the spring separator arranged in parallel over a “bypass”.
The separator throws the springs one by one in free flight as bulk material onto the final sorting line of the vibratory bowl feeder. In order to avoid the further transport of springs completely caught up in one another and showing the dimension of one single spring, they are then directly feed in the linear track or air tubing.
