Elscint recently manufactured a vibratory bowl feeder where very small rivets were required in two rows in head up orientation. The usual tendency of such rivets is to come in head down orientation. None of them come in the required orientation of head up. Hence, Elscint first ensured head down orientation and then used a sector type track to turn them upside down, ensuring that the final orientation of head up was achieved. Further, as there were two outlets, proper overflow was needed to be ensured on each of the outlets. The bowl was a double start bowl which was completely machined. The sector and linear track too was machined with high accuracy and a polycarbonate see through cover was provided for the linear track. Speed of 100 rivets per minute per row was achieved which was more than the requirement of the customer
