Construction of Mathematical Model of Feed Rate of Hopper Feeding-Orienting Device with Inclined Disk and Tangential Pockets for Cylindrical Billets with Flange

The article provides mathematical expressions to describe the probability of gripping rod blanks with a fl ange and the feed rate of mechanical disk hopper feeding-orienting devices with tangential pockets. Parameters of workpieces and feeding orienting device with tangential pockets, which affect the probability of gripping and feed rate, are considered. Parameters of rod blanks with fl ange and mechanical disk hopper feeding-orienting device with tangential pockets, which have the greatest infl uence on probability of gripping and feed rate, are determined. There are presented graphs of dependence of gripping probability and productivity on geometrical parameters of workpieces and structural and kinematic parameters of the device considering friction coeffi cients between them. The resulting dependencies and their visualization allow us to assess the values and the degree of infl uence of these parameters on the probability of capture and feed rate.
