Spring feeding Speedfeeder

Pneumatic automatic spring feeding and untangling system with integrated control, designed as a stand-alone solution.

The TEKDA SpeedFeeder is a pneumatically operated spring untangler designed for automatic operation on a production line or at a manual assembly station. In conjunction with a release mechanism, springs (with a maximum diameter of 5 mm and a maximum free length of 20 mm) can be delivered to the workstation on demand, triggered by a specific signal. An air-generated vortex causes the springs to rotate, which untangles them so they can be dispensed individually.

The TEKDA SpeedFeeder comes with a PLC control system that supports various release mechanisms, jam sensors, and other useful delivery options. A singulation unit is available as an accessory for the spring feeder upon request.

The SpeedFeeder can also be used at a manual assembly station, where individual springs can either be retrieved from a manual pick-up point or inserted using a spring dispenser.

The SpeedFeeder is suitable for applications involving cylindrical compression springs with closed end coils.
