A parts feeder has three major functions: storing, This method aligns the parts within a series of shaped

Aligning is the most important feature of the three. NTN’s optimum aligning method ensures consistent
The parts are aligned using physical sensors in addition to production quality throughout automated lines,

A parts feeder can align scattered parts in order and convey them in a consistent posture.
The device seems to be just a magic box, but as a matter of fact, it incorporates precision mechanisms.

Introduction of Applications
¡ Metallic parts NTN parts feeders can align and feed anything from general nuts and bolts to specific
4 industrial metal parts. For feeding springs which are easily tangled, the parts feeder is
provided with a special unraveling mechanism.
¡ Rubber parts Rubber parts are soft and thought to be difficult to feed due to rubber's large coefficient
of friction, but NTN parts feeders can align and feed rubber parts using technologies we
have developed such as matching the vibration characteristics with the rubber's
characteristics and a special-processing of the bowl.
NTN Parts Feeder Guide Book
While NTN part feeders are used in applications handing a wide range
of uniform parts it also handles parts that may surprise you.
¡ Plastics

¡ Foodstuffs
NTN parts feeders can
convey various foodstuffs, such
as candies and crackers,
products in cartons such as ice
cream or dry soups, or other
packaged goods. The parts
feeders can accomodate the
wide ranges of size, shape and

¡ Medical equipment
NTN parts feeders are

the manufacture of
medications in pill or tablet
form, as well as for medical
¡ Electronic equipment parts equipment, such as syringes.
A variety of feeder systems are
available from NTN for electronic parts,
from transistors to condenser or microchip components. Special
units for high speed, high frequency operation can be prepared.
