The ASM TX series bulk vibratory feeder BV-021 is a stand-alone bulk component feeding station designed to orient, separate, and transport bulk electronic components from bagged or boxed packaging to downstream assembly equipment (pick-and-place machines, chip inserters, or manual assembly stations). The ASM TX series bulk vibratory feeder BV-021 uses an electromagnetic coil motor to drive precision-designed vibratory feeders, each equipped with an output track. The system is configured based on customer-supplied sample components: a bag or box of target components is required for vibratory feeder profile measurement and track geometry calibration. Each ASM TX series bulk vibratory feeder BV-021 supports 1 to 4 vibratory feeders; the price depends on the number of vibratory feeders and track configuration.

Feature
Components exit the bowl at a fixed speed (0.8 sec/pcs), in the correct orientation, every cycle. Beyond sorting: the track can include polarity detection (optical), lead cutting (mechanical blade station), and pin straightening (forming gate). Rejected parts loop back to the bowl for re-sort. Result: parts arrive at the pick position oriented, inspected, cut, and formed — no secondary handling step
Expert FAQ
Q: What do I need to send for a bowl profile?
One bag or box of the target component. Yinuo measures it, machines the bowl track to match, and runs 2-4 hours of flow verification. Lead time from sample receipt: 10-15 business days.
Q: Can a bowl be reused for a different component later?
Yes. Yinuo re-machines the track and replaces sorting gates. Cost is 25-35% of a new bowl. If the new part is similar (e.g., same connector family, different pin count), often only gates need replacing — about 15% of new bowl cost. Turnaround 7-10 days.
Q: What happens if air pressure drops below 0.4 MPa?
Sorting gates lose force, misfeed rate spikes to 8-12%. Built-in pressure sensor triggers a red stack light and pauses vibration at 0.38 MPa. Restore air, press one button, vibration resumes. No damage during the pause.
