One innovative use of vibratory bowl feeders is to use them for automating riveting machines. Here the rivets are fed through a vibratory bowl feeder to the riveting station. The other part (spring, strip etc.) can either be placed manually or automatically from another vibratory bowl feeder. Alternatively, the strip can be fed through a de-reeler and cut as per the requirement and fed automatically. At the riveting point, the riveting takes place and the completed riveted assembly is blow out or removed manually as the case might be. For this a riveting machine has to be mounted on a specially designed platform. Other options which are possible are  checking of the spring / strip etc. before riveting, counting of the number of pieces riveted, automatic stoppage of machine when a wrong rivet / spring is fed etc. This type of automation can be used in various industries like switchgear and contactor manufacturing industry. Productivity increases tremendously with the usage of this type of automation. Not only does it eliminate / reduce labour but also the production as well as consistency of the component is increased tremendously. 

Elscint Automation has developed a innovative Rotary Feeder for feeding of coins. Various Coins having different thickness and diameters can be fed through the same Rotary Feeder with slight changeover tooling. The Rotary Feeder has a rugged design and is made in cast iron and lined with suitable material for better rigidity. An AC geared motor of Elscint make having variable speed is used. This helps adjust the feeding speed according to the actual requirement of the user. The advantage in case of a rotary feeder as against a vibratory parts feeder is that rotary feeders work at much higher speeds and thus a better feed rate can be achieved. Other parts that can be fed through a rotary feeder are bottle caps, cylindrical rollers, needle rollers etc.

Flare Nuts require to be fed to flaring machines. The hex head and the threading size in most cases of the flare nuts is the same and this makes orientation of the flare nuts rather difficult. However, Elscint even manufactures a Vibratory Bowl Feeder for feeding of Flare Nuts to Flaring Machines in double rows! Elscint has a lot of expertise in feeding of Flare Nuts and in this type of Vibratory Bowl Feeder, two rows of Flare Nuts can be fed side by side in separate orientation in each row. This gives more output and eliminates the need of a separate Bowl Feeder when two rows of Flare Nuts are required. Further from the orientation of the flare nuts can be different in each of these rows. Feed Rates or the speeds that can be achieved can be as high as 300 Pieces Per Minute.
