Tracking Feeder Systems - Horizontal Tracks and Gravity Tracks

A motor driven and/or custom vibratory inline track that moves oriented or singulated parts upstream from one system to the next operation. Sloped tracks connected to the feeder (centrifugal or vibratory) use gravity to provide the means of movement. Accumulator tracking systems enable your parts to be "staged" in a set orientation for the next process.

In-line Tracks
In-line feeders are vibratory horizontal feeding devices that transfer parts from a feeder bowl to your machine, part placement device or an operator. Fortville offers two standard drive configurations. Lengths range from 6” to as long as you need. Your in-line feeder can be 110 or 220v to better fit into your application. And we can build your in-line feeder from almost any material - even plated with hard chrome to resist wear or rust.

Gravity Tracks
Gravity tracks are a low cost way of transporting parts from the feeder bowl to your machine. They can also twist parts to match your desired orientation. Fortville custom-builds gravity tracks for any application. Need help figuring the correct angle? We can do that.

We can design straight, horizontal discharge, or vertical discharge gravity tracks, depending on your machines. And we can machine your gravity tracks from stainless steel, hardened tool steel, or mild steel, to meet your high wear and high production needs. We can also hard chrome plate or black oxide your tracks.

Conveyor Tracks
Belt Conveyors carry parts to or from the feeder bowl precisely and with a controlled orientation. We meet your automation needs with different belt speeds and types of belts. We can build with AC or DC motors, and utilize fixed or variable speed control. The length and width of our Conveyors is virtually unlimited.

Fortville can handle thin parts that are hard to transfer from the belt to your machine, by using a knife edge conveyor to virtually eliminate the end roller profile. Fortville offers center and end drive conveyors with almost limitless motor configurations.

C-Track		One of the most reliable and cost effective ways to overcome the issue of orientating parts is to provide a custom manufactured C-Track. Our experienced feeder bowl toolers design and build a less complicated feeder bowl using gravity and the natural orientation of the part. Then our machine builders provide the final turnover process via the C-Track. Ultimately, our customer will be provided with a very reliable, simple system that is extremely user friendly to operate.
