Increased reliability and efficiency of disk hopper feeding-orienting devices for asymmetric parts of rotation bodies

The article discusses the issues of improving the reliability and feed rate of mechanical disk hopper feeding-orienting devices for parts of rotation bodies having both obvious and implicit asymmetry along the longitudinal axis of symmetry. Principles of design of gripping and orienting members of specified types of hopper-orienting devices for asymmetric parts are considered. Optimal ranges of geometric and kinematic parameters determining reliability of hopper feeding-orienting devices for asymmetric parts at their gripping and orientation on example of device with radial pockets are revealed. The method of constructing mathematical models of the feed rate of capture and graphics of the dependence of feed rate on the circumferential speed of gripping organs at various parameters of asymmetric parts and mechanical disk hopper feeding-orienting devices is presented. You have defined parameters that affect feed rate and obtained maximum values.
