Robotics & Automation Parts Feeding Solutions
A robot is only as good as what it is handed. We build the front end — oriented, singulated, held in a known position — and we build it to drop into the cell you already have.
Built Around Your Challenges
Challenges We Help You Overcome
Parts Held Where the Robot Expects
Rotary escapements hold a singulated part in a fixed nest through the pick, so the robot goes to a taught position instead of hunting for the part.
Turnkey Vision When You Need It
Camera, control cabinet, power supply, mini PLC and wiring supplied and programmed as one package — a feeder that arrives working, not a parts list.
Several Feeders, One Footprint
Rubber isolators and individual sub-plates let multiple feeders share a single baseplate without vibration crosstalk, which saves frames, cost and cell floor space.
Multi-Part Cells
One cell fed with several part types, from several feeders, each with its own escapement tooled to its own part.
Quiet Enough to Work Beside
A five-feeder cell we built runs under 80 decibels with everything on — quieter than most single-bowl feeders, and quiet enough that operators can hold a conversation next to it.

Proven Applications
5 feeders
One shared baseplate
Machine Integration
One Frame, Five Feeders, Under 80 Decibels
Four vibratory bowls and a step feeder on a single frame for one robotic assembly cell. Rubber isolators and individual sub-plates keep each feeder's vibration out of its neighbors, saving four frames and the floor space to stand them on.
3 sizes
One feeder
Machine Integration
Vision-Guided Step Feeder Presents Pins Point-Up
A Keyence IV camera reads which end of each actuator pin is leading, a purge gate recirculates the rest, and a custom rotary escapement rotates each pin from horizontal to vertical so the robot picks it in final assembly orientation.
Multi-part
No tooling change

Bellco Flex Under a Twin-Robot Pick Cell
A backlit Flex platform feeding two robots in one guarded cell — parts spread for the camera, picked by the arm, and the platform re-shuffles what the robot could not see.
The Bellco Difference

Common Questions
Robotics & Automation FAQs
Does the robot need vision to find the part?
Not if the escapement does its job. A rotary escapement holds the singulated part in a fixed nest so the robot picks from a taught position. Vision goes further up the line, where it is used to check orientation before the part ever reaches the pick point.
Can you feed several different parts into one cell?
Yes, two ways. Multiple feeders on a shared baseplate, each tooled to its own part — we have put five on one frame — or a single Bellco Flex platform with vision-guided picking where the parts suit it.
Will it fit in the cell we already have?
That is what the SolidWorks model is for. You get the complete 3D model before fabrication, so footprint, clearances, robot reach and every interface point are verified against your cell on paper first.
Do you supply the controls, or do we?
Either. Feeders ship with CUH variable-frequency digital controllers in a lockable enclosure and sensors wired to an I/O block for your PLC. On vision systems we can supply the whole cabinet — power supply, mini PLC, wiring and programming — as a turnkey package.
How long does it take to get a quote?
Three business days is our average. Send us the part — or a drawing of it — along with your target feed rate and how parts need to be presented downstream, and an engineer will come back with a scoped quote.
How does Bellco pricing compare to other suppliers?
Bellco systems are typically priced 20–40% below traditional suppliers. We manufacture directly — no brokers, no middlemen — which lets us compete on price without cutting engineering time, material quality, or testing.
