Abstract
Currently, vibratory bowl feeders are widely used in industry to feed small parts in assembly processes. The actual orientation of parts is achieved by various devices used in these feeders. However, each type of device performs only a limited function. The objective of this project was to develop a systematic approach which both analyses the geometrical and topological properties of parts designed in a CAD system and selects appropriate orientation devices to feed the designed parts.
