Technical FAQ
Engineering Questions
01What part geometries can be handled?
Our bowl feeders handle cylindrical, rectangular, asymmetric, and complex 3D geometries. We design custom tooling based on your part CAD data to ensure reliable orientation.
02How is feed rate determined?
Feed rate depends on part size, geometry complexity, and required orientation accuracy. We provide feed rate estimates during the quotation process based on part samples or drawings.
03Can the system handle multiple part variants?
Quick-change tooling options allow switching between part variants. For high-mix applications, consider our Flexible Feeder systems with vision-guided picking.
04What is the typical lead time?
Standard systems ship in 4-6 weeks. Custom tooling development adds 2-4 weeks depending on complexity. Rush delivery available for urgent requirements.
05How is noise controlled?
Sound enclosures with acoustic dampening materials achieve <75dB operation. Bowl coatings and tuned frequencies further reduce operational noise.
06What integration options are available?
Systems include PLC interfaces (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi), level sensors for hopper refill, jam detection, and output signals for downstream equipment coordination.
07What maintenance is required?
Routine maintenance includes drive base inspection (quarterly), bowl coating inspection (annual), and controller calibration verification. Average MTBF exceeds 20,000 hours.
08Can existing bowls be retrofitted?
Yes. We can retrofit new tooling to existing bowl feeders or upgrade drive bases and controls on legacy systems to improve performance.
