Automatic screw and washer assembly

Though this process takes a very small time, it results into a lot of time when the day’s production is taken into account. In case the washer and the screw is kept ready for the operator / assembly worker duly assembled, it can save some time. There is a huge time saving in case one takes into account the number of screws and washers assembled every day by one operator. However, for doing the assembly, either one requires a costly assembly machine or else the assembly has to be done offline manually.

However, this too requires the usage of a person. For this very purpose, Elscint has developed a novel Vibratory Bowl Feeder which can assemble Screws / Bolts and Washers. You just need to dump the Screws and Washers in the Bowl Feeder and they come out in an assembled fashion. Pokayoke concept has been implemented to ensure that not a single unassembled Screw and Washer come out of the Bowl Feeder. Normally, for assembly of Screws and Washers, two Bowl Feeders are required along with a motorized or pneumatic station where they are assembled.

This Bowl Feeder using the new novel assembly concept pioneered by Elscint makes the assembly in only a single Vibratory Bowl Feeder. This not only saves space but also electricity consumption as only one single Vibratory Bowl Feeder is required and eliminates the need for one Vibratory Feeder and motorized assembly station. This Vibratory Bowl Feeder adds tremendous value for users of Fasteners like automobile manufacturers who presently have to assemble Screws and Washers by hand or have to use costly Assembly equipment. Hence, this Vibratory Bowl not only reduces labour but also helps improve productivity. As Elscint has made this an standard equipment, most of the components are kept in stock and deliveries can be fast. This “Assembly” Vibratory Bowl Feeder has generated tremendous response from customers. This further emphasizes Elscint’s pioneering efforts in the Vibratory Bowl Feeder industry.
