This is a fully automatic system used to assemble the four parts shown into a Surgineedle. The Surgineedle is one of the tools used by surgeons while doing minimally invasive surgery. The operator loads the Needles into a stepper driven magazine bank that transfers one row of needles at a time into a linear vibratory feeder. The Needles are then picked up and placed into a spring loaded nest on a cam operated rotary index table. The machine uses a cam operated upper tooling plate above the indexing turret to provide the vertical motions for all of the stations. The horizontal pick and place motions are provided by ADAPT standard air driven slides mounted on the upper tool plate. (Click more specifications to continue)
