Automate your material flow and prevent “log-jams” with our professional Material Rack Sequential Feeding Mechanism drawing. In a high-density gravity rack, the pressure of a full column of parts can make it difficult—and dangerous—to remove a single item at the bottom. This technical CAD resource provides a blueprint for a Mechanical Escapement that manages the weight of the queue while releasing only the lead part. By downloading this file from MechStream, you gain access to a design that ensures smooth, controlled delivery for round bars, boxed goods, or heavy industrial components.

The design featured in this package focuses on the Interlocking Dual-Gate architecture. The drawing includes detailed layouts for a pair of synchronized “fingers” or “stoppers.” When the first gate opens to release a part, the second gate simultaneously rises to hold back the rest of the queue. This “hand-over” movement prevents the kinetic energy of the following parts from crashing into the discharge point. By utilizing this blueprint, you can implement true FIFO (First-In-First-Out) inventory control in your “supermarket” zones or assembly line feeds.

Our technical documentation prioritizes reliability and mechanical timing. The assembly can be configured for manual lever operation o pneumatic automation. Whether you are managing delicate electronic components or heavy engine castings, this drawing provides the exact pivot points, spring return specifications, and impact-resistant material callouts required for a professional-grade feeding installation.

Características principales:

  • Load-Isolating Singulation: Engineered to handle high-pressure queues, ensuring the weight of the stack doesn’t interfere with the release of the front part.
  • Synchronized Gate Timing: Detailed linkage designs that ensure the “hold-back” gate is fully engaged before the “release” gate opens.
  • Adjustable Part-Size Channels: Features modular dividers to accommodate different workpiece lengths and diameters within the same rack footprint.
  • Low-Maintenance Gravity Drive: Optimized for gravity-assisted feeding, reducing the need for complex motorized conveyor sections.
  • Soportes de sensores integrados: Pre-defined locations for inductive or photo-eye sensors to provide “Part Ready” or “Rack Empty” signals to the factory PLC.
