Efficiency and dependability are the driving factors behind successful manufacturing operations, and feed systems contribute greatly to maintaining these qualities throughout. Dixon Automatic Tool, Inc. specializes in supplying reliable and high-performing feed systems, from vibratory feeder bowls to supply hoppers and custom feed tracks. These systems are trusted by many to deliver the precision and consistency needed in manufacturing production lines, ultimately resulting in higher productivity levels and less downtime.
Understanding Feed Systems
Feed systems automate the sorting, orienting, and delivering of various parts or fasteners, which keeps assembly lines running smoothly. Whether it’s vibratory feeder bowls, inline tracks, or supply hoppers, each component is integral to the efficiency and accuracy of these operations.
Our vibratory feeder bowls are available in stainless steel or cascade options, and they come in a wide range of diameters to best suit your parts. These bowls are tooled to handle various pieceparts or fasteners for a simple integration with your production line. For additional support, we also offer supply hoppers with capacities of up to 5 cubic feet. These hoppers maintain an optimal part level in the feeder bowls for maximum efficiency.
Each feed system includes additional components such as inline vibratory track drives or gravity incline tracks. Equipped with drive controls, our systems can be fully customized to meet unique manufacturing requirements. We also integrate sound enclosures to reduce noise levels and incorporate custom feed tracks to ensure precise part orientation and accurate delivery.
