A system for automatically distributing and supplying parts includes a parts distributing device for delivering an array of parts, and a parts supplying device for feeding the parts to a parts installing device at spaced intervals corresponding to parts installing positions. The parts supplying device has a first positioning member for receiving the delivered array of parts, a second positioning member connected to the first positioning member through flexible tubular members for spacing the parts at the spaced intervals, and a parts feed mechanism movable selectively into confronting relation to the second positioning member and the parts installing device for receiving the parts from the second positioning member and feeding the parts to the parts installing device.

System for automatically distributing and supplying parts

An automatic parts feeder has a bed, a base movable on the bed in a first direction, a hopper assembly mounted on the base, a delivery mechanism, a transfer mechanism, and a supply mechanism for supplying parts to a processing machine. The supply mechanism supplies the parts in a second direction normal to the first direction, and includes a movable assembly movable in both the first and second directions, a swing arm pivotally supported on the movable assembly and angularly movable in a plane normal to the second direction between a substantially vertical upstanding position and an inclined position, and parts receivers detachably mounted on the swing arm for receiving, holding, and releasing the parts.

Automatic parts feeder

A component distribution device comprises a base structure disposed within an effective working region of component supply points, and a pallet engageable with and disengageable from the base structure, the pallet having a distribution plate adapted to hold the components as fed from a component source and force same to move to the component supply points.
