Track-Fed Part Placers
Place Perfect® Technology
Dixon's Product Group offers a number of standard and custom auto-fed part placers, including special pick
& place part placing stations. Feed systems may vary with each part placer, due to the piece part size,
weight, and geometry. Piece parts may be conveyed from the vibratory feed system to the placement head by
hardened feed tracks, blow tube, or a magazine-type drop tube. All placement heads have sensing features
that provide confirmation of proper placement of each piece part in the assembly process. Interlocking
controls are selected to meet the requirements of each assembly application.
