In contemporary automated assemblage lines, feeding of engineering parts in the accurate positioning manner is one of the important processes and part feeders are used in the automated feeding and correct placing of the components. In feeder, parts are stored in bulk and are sent in discrete manner to the machine to which it is attached. The overall function of the feeder is to provide a steady stream of parts, all in a specified orientation. Part feeders are broadly classified as universal and customized. Universal feeders are vibratory bowl type feeder and customized feeders are made according to customer needs. Customized feeders are of many types such as rotary hook feeder, pneumatic reciprocating feeder, centerboard hopper feeder, scoop wheel feeder etc. The purpose of this analysis is to develop the magnetic disc type feeder to feed industrial components like bolt. In this feeder, parts are fed into the hopper and get attracted by magnets present in the slots provided on the disc. The disc rotates and parts move on to the chute attached to the disc in a required orientation. Furthermore, the feeding process is automated with the help of sensors to get minimum number of parts at feeding site to avoid overcrowding and also a counting facility is provided to count the number of bolts passing through.
