Abstract (en)
In an off-line, free-standing, parts-orienting and - feeding device 16, selected parts are fed by a hopper 26 to, and oriented in, a centrifugal or vibratory parts feeder unit 22, and then discharged to a programmed transferring arrangement. The latter includes a slide shuttle unit for alternately receiving discharged parts in a plurality of passages and aligning the parts-receiving passages with one or more pressurized air passages to blow the parts through selected transfer tubes 14 to pick-and-placement devices 74 which serve to place the parts continually one-at-a-time on packaging materials being processed on one or more packaging machines 10. Limit devices 72 on each transfer tube 14 signal the slide shuttle unit to realign the parts-receiving passages with the pressurized air passage(s), to provide parts as required by the or each machine 10. <IMAGE>
