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 ou 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.

Principais recursos:

  • 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.
  • Suportes de sensores integrados: Pre-defined locations for inductive or photo-eye sensors to provide “Part Ready” or “Rack Empty” signals to the factory PLC.
