Vibratory Feeding Systems

ADI is frequently called on by manufacturers who need to orient parts in preparation for secondary operations which inspect a product and then package it. Customers who make automatic screwdrivers utilize ADI feeding equipment to orient the fasteners and then hold them in a special escapement for release on demand. Manufacturers of discrete electrical components, such as resistors and capacitors, frequently utilize our expertise. To meet their needs, ADI develops parts feeding systems which present parts to operators for assembly, testing, inspection and marking, and for insertion into cartridges for later use in automatic assembly machines.
