Engineered Flow: Custom Vibratory Feeder Design for the Process Engineer

CDS LIPE: Premier Automated Material Handling Systems Expert.

As a Process Engineer, your success is measured by two things: zero jams and zero defects. When dealing with high-speed automated lines, the integrity of the part stream is everything. A standard, off-the-shelf vibratory feeder introduces risk; a custom-engineered CDS LIPE solution introduces certainty.

Solving the Part Presentation Dilemma

The Challenge: Parts are never perfect. They may have mold flash, burrs, or subtle dimensional variance that causes them to improperly seat in the tooling, leading to immediate line shutdown.

The CDS LIPE Solution: Our engineering team works with your part and your Program Manager to define custom tooling solutions. This includes selecting the correct feeder type (e.g., a Step Feeder for large, heavy parts or a Flexible Feeder for high-mix components) and integrating active tooling that performs a final check on part orientation before discharge. We eliminate jams by rejecting non-conforming parts early and cleanly.

Vibratory Feeder Tools for Quality Control

• Dyna-Slide Gentle Handling: For parts with finished surfaces, our Dyna-Slide technology uses a special brush surface to prevent scratching that could lead to cosmetic defects and scrap.
• Precision Escapements: We integrate custom escapement mechanisms that ensure parts are released one at a time (singulation) with micron accuracy, perfectly timed for the assembly robot or pick-and-place unit.
• Collaboration with Program Management: We provide your Program Manager with the data and reliability metrics needed to justify system integration, ensuring your technical solution gets the necessary budget approval.
