Abstract - The success of Automated Assembly in Mass
wall of the bowl thereby providing a storage not only along the helical conveyor path but in the bottom of the bowl.
Production hinges on the effective performance of automated high speed part positioned. One such part presenter is the conventional Vibratory Bowl Feeder (VBF). This project attempts to make progress in the development of a VBF.As earlier we use cross-pad assembly drive but it was not convenient as the error was more. So to overcome this problem we use small spring plate in the assembly drive. The project gives the information about the design, development and manufacture of range of automated orientation tools which, in combination, make up a typical orientation system for the VBF. Four prototype tools were developed: the wiper blade, the needle, the Spocket, the edge riser tool. These tools were focused for the purpose of the project on the feeding of a specific target component. The target component for which we are designing and orienting VBF are Square Metal Washer (Black component) and Square Plastic Washer (Orange component).
Vibratory Bowl Feeder(VBFs) employed to present parts to manufacturing machines in correct orientations are used mainly in high volume production. The VBF is essentially a fixed sequence feeding device, allowing a very limited range of parts to be accommodated for any given set-up and can therefore be considered unsuitable for batch manufacturing process.

INTRODUCTION
The principal object of this project is to provide a conveyor path which is of considerable extent and wherein the inlet and outlet may be located at the same or different levels or different relative positions. The conveyor track between the inlet and outlet functions as a storage reservoir for the purpose of maintaining a supply of components that may be fed independently in turn to one machine regardless of the rate of delivery of the component from another machine.

To design and fully develop the automated orientation tool .This could be used as a prototype for future automated orientation tools. To identify, study and design a wide range of future tools that would in future provide a platform for a VBF system with large scale application in industry. To research various orientation tools developed for conventional fixed-sequence This information would assist in the design process helping to contribute to the development of Prototyping Automated Orientation Tools such as wiper blade, narrow track, edge riser, needle, spocket. To design and fully develop the automated orientation tool (The needle).

METHODOLGY Vibratory bowl feeder has many assembly operations. The bowl sizes vary from 100mm to 500mm. The alternating vibrations produce a motion that will in practice because the product to proceed up the spiral ramp on the inside curved surface of the bowl. The upward spiral path has custom fiducials either attached to it or machined into it, so as to only allow parts in the predetermined orientation to make it to the top.
This project relates to the provision of a storage feeder bowl which provides a pair of inner and outer annular walls for supporting a descending and an ascending conveyor track for the purpose of depositing the articles in the bottom of the bowl and then picking them up and delivering them to the upper edge of the other annular
