    MAP-201: Body Supply Part Feeder + Detector/Ejector

    The process: A gravity feeder houses the parts in a column. Each part has a non-symmetrical interior housing and is ejected by a pneumatic cylinder. The correct orientation of the part is verified using a cylinder with a plunger. After verification, an oval section pneumatic cylinder moves the work-piece to the final position. Otherwise, a single acting cylinder removes the part via the evacuation ramp.
