GUIDELINE FOR THE SELECTION OF A SUITABLE SCREWFEEDER STEP 1: Feeding criteria Basically all “shaft heavy“ screws with heads which fulfil the following criteria are suitable for processing with our feed systems: Which feeding principle is best suited to your application? Space available on the component A vibratory spiral bowl is particularly suited to screws with awkward dimensions or those with special feed rate requirements. The sword feeder is used when extremely gentle handling of the parts is required or when very low noise level is a must. If feeding with a hose system is not possible...
