The machine operator loads
a hopper with the buzz plugs through the
top of the machine. The hopper feeds the
parts into a vibratory feeder which orients
the plugs and sends them down the track
to the dead nest. The hard-automated pick
and place crimping mechanism picks up
the parts from the dead nest, places them
into the crimper, picks them up from the
crimper and drop them down a chute into
the depository bin. Sensors signal the
operator when to fill the hopper and when
to empty the bin that is full of crimped
parts. |
