Spring Speedfeeder
What is a spring speedfeeder?
A spring speedfeeder is an automated spring feeder system designed to deliver oriented springs directly to assembly stations on demand. Novo Lean Solutions Tekda-designed speedfeeders can deliver springs independently to up to six separate assembly points within a 12-foot radius using custom airflow separation technology.
What is the difference between a spring separator and a spring feeder?
A spring separator is designed to untangle and separate springs from bulk containers, while a spring feeder delivers oriented springs directly to an assembly point or production station. Many automated systems combine both spring separation and feeding functions for streamlined manufacturing automation.
Can Novo Precision customize spring feeding solutions?
Yes. Novo Lean Solutions provides multiple spring feeding device configurations and customized spring automation solutions designed to meet unique spring handling, separating, orienting, and delivery requirements for specific manufacturing applications.
What types of springs can Novo Lean Solutions spring feeding equipment handle?
Novo Lean Solutions spring feeding devices and spring separators are designed to accommodate a wide range of spring sizes and configurations. Systems can handle springs with outside diameters up to 0.196” (5 mm) and lengths up to 0.788” (20 mm), depending on the application requirements.
How do spring feeding systems improve manufacturing efficiency?
Spring feeding systems automate the process of separating, orienting, and delivering springs directly to assembly points. This reduces labor-intensive manual sorting, minimizes production interruptions, improves consistency, and increases throughput in automated manufacturing environments.
What industries use spring feeding devices and spring separators?
Spring feeding devices and automatic spring separators are commonly used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, electronics assembly, medical device manufacturing, aerospace, consumer products, and precision industrial assembly applications where accurate spring placement and orientation are required.
What power options are available for spring feeding equipment?
Novo Lean Solutions spring feeding equipment is available with both 115V and 230V power supply options to support a variety of manufacturing environments and international applications.
Does Novo Lean Solutions offer spring feeding equipment testing or demonstrations?
Yes. Novo Lean Solutions offers free demonstration testing for customer-submitted spring samples. Customers can send in challenging or difficult-to-handle springs, and Novo Precision will run them through our in-house spring separators and provide video proof of the spring separation and feeding automation capabilities before your purchase.
