  • Vibratory and flexible feeding
  • Trials and system integration
Specialist role

Reliable component feeding begins with the part.

Sortation Solutions Ltd leads the feeding, orientation and presentation of components using vibratory, centrifugal, step, linear, flexible or vision-guided approaches selected from part behaviour and required output.

Core capabilities

What this company leads.

A focused capability set gives customers a clear technical route and keeps detailed ownership with the people delivering the work.

01

Vibratory bowl feeding

Custom tooling and tracks for repeated orientation and controlled delivery of suitable components.

02

Centrifugal feeding

High-rate feeding where part geometry and handling behaviour suit rotary presentation.

03

Step and linear feeding

Gentle elevation, storage and controlled transfer for parts that benefit from alternative mechanical handling.

04

Flexible and vision feeding

Programmable presentation and vision-guided selection where part variety or changeover is important.

05

Escapements and presentation

Final separation, orientation confirmation and delivery into a robot, machine or operator interface.

06

Part trials and integration

Evidence-led testing, rate assessment, replenishment strategy and downstream interface definition.

Start with the brief

Information that improves the first technical response.

  • Representative samples
    Parts across expected tolerances, variants, finishes and production conditions.
  • Required orientation
    Photographs or drawings of the accepted presentation and any orientation that must be rejected.
  • Rate and buffer
    Required parts per minute, downstream cycle, accumulation and recovery expectations.
  • Changeover and replenishment
    Part families, batch size, operator loading, storage and cleaning constraints.
Delivery pathway

From requirement to handover.

1

Part review

Assess geometry, surfaces, tangling, nesting, damage risk, variation and accepted orientation.

2

Feeding trials

Test the most suitable principle and gather evidence on stability, rate and failure modes.

3

System engineering

Develop hopper, feeder, track, escapement, sensors and downstream interface.

4

Proving and handover

Run representative samples, verify agreed output and document settings or changeover.

Connected group delivery

Feeding performance depends on the downstream task.

Sortation can define the part presentation while Industrial Automation handles robot picking, Lancing leads packaging equipment, and Machine Guarding addresses access or moving-part protection.
