Spring Speedfeeder

Overview

Tekda Speedfeeder

The SPEEDFEEDER is a pneumatic operated spring 
separator designed to work automatically in a 
production line or serving a manual assembly 
station.
Together with an escapement the springs can be 
delivered to the assembly point on demand at a 
given signal through a tube.
The SPEEDFEEDER is delivered with a PLC control 
that allows multiple escapements, queuing 
sensors and other delivery options to be used. 
The escapement is available as an accessory for 
feeding springs one at a time on demand.
The SPEEDFEEDER can be equipped with 1-4 
outlets. The output depends on the shape and 
dimension of the springs. For many types of 
springs very high capacities are possible. The 
SPEEDFEEDER can also be used to serve a manual 
assembly station.
The Tekda SPEEDFEEDER is suitable for 
applications involving cylindrical compression 
springs with closed end coils.

Separator Escapements

An automatic spring feeder equipped with an escapement enables the feeder to deliver 
one spring on demand directly to an assembly line.
An escapement should always be mounted vertically with the outlet downwards.
When starting up the unit the spring feeder will fill up a queue and when that is done 
the escapement will deliver one spring if it receives an external start signal.
As soon as the queue goes below the max queue level the spring feeder 
automatically starts and feeds springs until the max queue level is reached again.

The Novo Lean Solutions Advantage:

  • Design Flexibility

    Spring Separator unit has PLC control and can be equipped with 1-4 outlets allowing for multiple part presentations or delivery to multiple lines. Automatically fills que until max capacity.

  • Increase efficiency

    Tekda Speedfeeder allows for automatic separation with no manual loading. Springs are separated and presented directly to a determined point in your assembly line. No inefficient handling, sorting and separating of springs increased employee efficiency.

  • Reduce Cost and Scrap

    Tekda Spring Speedfeeder takes out manual separation which is time consuming and increases spring scrap rates. Separation is air driven so springs are gently separator inside unit. Ability to feed multiple lines with just one unit.

FAQs

  • 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.
