Automated Parts Call

An automated guide vehicle (AGV) delivers assembly line parts to a workstation when the parts are needed.

Call For Parts

In flexible manufacturing environments, where operators assemble components with parts supplied by parts bins, a simple indicator is illuminated to alert stocking personnel to refill the bins before parts are depleted. Keeping bins stocked with parts without the need of the operator to leave the station to retrieve and refill improves productivity.

Parts Inspection on a Feeder Bowl Rail

As parts file out of a vibratory feeder bowl to a conveying rail, they must be inspected before they are fed to the next stage of packaging or placement in additional finished components. Feeder bowls are effective in parts orientation, but without additional inspection devices or components they do not provide a means to sort parts that have minor flaws or defects that could create problems or lead to additional scrapped product later in the manufacturing process.
