Automatic Spring Separator
Automatic Spring Separator FE-160S – High efficiency at low cost
The RNA automatic spring separator is designed to detangle intertwined springs in order to use the detangled springs in the next process or to dispense the springs for the next device respectively.
The spring separator is often used together with a bowl feeder or a hopper to store and then feed the springs to the separator, which then feeds the detangled springs to another bowl feeder for sorting.
For small to medium-size springs
High reliability and untangling quote
Integrable between hopper and bowl feeder or between two bowl feeders (for stockage and sorting)
Housing made of stainless steel
External On/Off switch with additional fuse
Application Study
Feeding springs with open spring ends requires special attention. This type of spring is – if filled in as bulk material in a stockpiling hopper – strongly tangle up and therefore useless for the following process. By using RNA’s automatic spring separator within the feeding process, it becomes possible to feed the springs individually to the following process.
Task:
Pressure springs with a diameter of 4.31 x 11.8 mm should be fed individually to the following process at a rate of 50 parts per minute. Due to their open ends, single springs keep getting tangled up as soon as they lie together in larger quantities. Accordingly, one must avoid the springs from accumulating during the entire feeding process.
