Natural Resting Aspects of Parts for Automatic Handling
Geoffrey Boothroyd, C. Ho · Journal of Engineering for Industry · 1977
A theoretical study is made of the orientations in which small parts will naturally feed in a vibratory-bowl feeder. The results are applied to regular prismatic part shapes and are tested experimentally. The results of the work are useful in the analysis of vibratory-bowl feeder orienting systems.
