Fairview, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2012 -- Automation Devices, Inc (ADI), a vibratory bowl feeder and parts feeding system components manufacturer, is utilizing a free sound meter application to determine safe noise levels in vibratory feeding systems.

The noise emanating from vibratory feeding systems is typically a result of the parts moving in the bowl. The level can often exceed allowable noise levels in which operators must wear protective gear.

"Customers need to maintain a specific noise level on their shop floor," explains ADI President Kevin Smith. "By accessing smart phone technology we are able to download a sound meter app and easily determine whether or not the vibratory system falls within their designated safe range."

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, "Each year, approximately 30 million people in the United States are occupationally exposed to hazardous noise. Noise-related hearing loss has been listed as one of the most common occupational health concerns in the United States for more than 25 years. Since 2004, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that nearly 125,000 workers have suffered significant, permanent hearing loss."

"Sound enclosures reduce noise level within tolerance limits which reduces or eliminates the need for ear protection," explains Smith. "It also makes the work environment more conducive to communication and productivity."

ADI sound enclosures provide an extremely flexible and reliable solution to excessive noise resulting from parts feeding applications. Custom designed to each application, these sound enclosures are capable of reducing noise levels by 25 decibels (dBa) or more and feature tough extruded-aluminum frames, transparent, easy-open flip-top lid and lightweight construction. A variety of wall construction materials including Lexan, PETG and high-impact vinyl as well as a full variety of paints and coatings are available.

Automation Devices, Inc. product line includes vibratory feeders, inline and centrifugal feeders, hoppers and vibratory controllers. ADI offers in stock products and custom designed systems. Automation Devices, Inc. is ISO 9001:2008 registered.

Fairview, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/27/2011 -- Automation Devices, Inc (ADI), a vibratory feeder and part system components manufacturer, has seen a recent increase in activity from customers associated with the automotive industry. With an economic downtrend, automotive manufacturing appears to be on the upswing, creating a growing need for automated parts feeding systems.

"We have seen an increase in requests for quotes for vibratory feeding systems for the automotive industry," explains ADI President Kevin Smith. "Automotive clips and fasteners, keys and rotor assemblies, are currently in high demand."

"Several of our customers serve automotive companies," explains Smith. "Our job is to provide a vibratory feeding system that can orient the given part in the mandatory direction for their production line. "Quick turn-around times and achieving the necessary feed rate is optimal to our success."

According to Automotive News, "North American vehicle production in August saw an increase of 10 percent from the year-earlier month to 1,228,736 units. It was the 22nd consecutive month with a year-over-year increase. The previous longest streak was 20 months in 1993-95."

"That is huge for an economy that has overall seen limited growth in the last year," comments Smith. "Our goal is to embrace this economic boost and use it to our advantage. ADI will continue to provide our customers with the level of quality products they've come to expect."

Fairview, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/14/2011 -- Automation Devices, Inc. (ADI), a vibratory feeder manufacturer, offers customers in the medical, pharmaceutical and food industries viable options for safe, reliable parts feeding. ADI recognizes the need for customers to meet quality control regulations while maintaining costs and production time.

Medical and pharmaceutical companies take the utmost care in a superior level of quality when producing medical devices and pharmaceuticals. "The automation and handling of these products are no exception," explains ADI President Kevin Smith. Whether the part ranges from a pharmaceutical tube or vial to medical devices or apparatus, ADI engineers can determine the best feeding option for each individual customer. "Our job is to help companies with parts feeding solutions that work best for them."

Food safety is a major concern for food companies, as they also have strict guidelines to follow. "ADI offers customers in the food industry several unique options for parts feeding," explains Smith. "Vibratory feeder bowls coated with FDA approved paint is one option many of our customers have deemed a success." Some food parts may not be suitable for standard vibratory feeder materials. Rigidized steel is a unique alternative for customers who have parts that continuously stick or clump together. "The pattern in the steel allows the parts to feed freely without causing unnecessary jams," says Smith.

These are just several options available for ADI vibratory feeders.

Automation Devices Inc. produces a full line of tooled and un-tooled vibratory feeders and components including vibratory feeders, base units, inline feeders and controllers. They are located in Fairview, Pa. They can be contacted at 814-474-5561 or view ADI products at http://www.autodev.com
